I just tried this with a 12.10 box

this requires entering the password (which makes sense - should we
mention that? we don't go into that much detail for other Linux distros,
but then I think we are trying to make this really easy for Ubuntu users
on purpose)

on 12.10 this doesn't generate a question about the key, but it also
doesn't install 3.0.2 but 1.2 instead - which I think makes sense since
we only have a 12.04 repository up so far, correct?

I don't have a 12.4 installation available to test that. Let's see if I
can somehow convert this laptop into a dual boot Ubuntu/Ubuntu machine. 
But that won't happen today (and tomorrow I'll go diving for a few days)
