https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/357177 was where the behaviour was implemented, which links to https://lists.launchpad.net/launchpad-users/msg04943.html.

There were in the past concerns about keyserver pollution, I believe. PPAs are now often pretty ephemeral, and frequently created and deleted, but all the keys will stay around forever, filling up name-based key search results. It would also reveal the name of private PPAs.

I don't think we should change the behaviour until we stop using the main keyserver network for PPA keys.
