Currently the apt-add-repository does not support adding private PPAs, and it
already mentions this when you try to add a private PPA, so this bug as

am updating this to a Wishlist bug to support Private PPA's with the method
described in comment 3.

+ API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where

- Those sources do not allow apt to work correctly.
- The correct lines, mentioned on launchpad web page are:
