Max signs a message to a mailing list with a PGP SIGNATURE and at the
same times recommends to install from a PPA ;). SICR. I would install
from a PPA too, with or without trusted key, but it's too funny that
somebody who feels the need to sign messages to a list recommends to
install from an untrusted repository. Perhaps I'm mistaken and
kernel.ubuntu.com is a trusted Mint repository.
