OK, so:
* add-apt-repository should support logging in to launchpad and adding
private ppas
* private PPAs should be added with auth.conf.d for the auth data
* to avoid having to login to launchpad on a server, something like:
- add-apt-repository should gain a --stdin switch that contains lines of
repositories with
options
- add-apt-repository should gain a --remote/-r switch to specify a remote
host, and do the auth
locally and then run the --stdin one on the remote host.

Title:
Support Private PPAs
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support
adding private PPAs.
software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
possible for it to get the password etc.
