Public bug reported:
Software properties could do with some TLC to make adding PPA details a
bit easier.
(i) If the source line for a ppa is in Other Software already, then using the
ppa:xxxxx/yyyy shortcut doesn't add the binary line.
(ii) The instructions on the 'Add' dialog don't tell you how to use the ppa
shortcut.
(iii) There doesn't appear to be a way to get it to add both the binary and the
source lines in a single step.
I know that 'real programmers' probably use echo from the command line,
but if there is to be an interface it should at least be functionally
complete.
