this worked for me. just replace xxxxxxxxxx by the last á characters 
from the missing key (i.e. 8722E71E in your case)
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys xxxxxxxxx
apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
apt-get update
don't know whether this is systematic solution, but it works... similar 
problems (and reasons why it is so) were recently discussed on the list, 
you can find them with google easily...
