Public bug reported: The official documentation for 16.04 is incomplete. It's the page with the title "Add additional software repositories". I believe that for non-Canonical repositories (but not PPAs) the user has to add the repository's key. Without the key the command "sudo apt-get update" will give an error message and packages cannot be added from the repository. As an example, see the link below for the instructions for adding the Play Deb 2 repository to 16.04.
