Bug description:
  *********************
   GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
  *********************
  When I try to add a new PPA repository using Software and Updates gui the repository is added but software-properties-gtk adds an space to the line on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa-name.list, as seen below:

  darkhole@devolo:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat libreoffice-ppa_-saucy.list
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa /ubuntu saucy main
  # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa /ubuntu saucy main

  The extra space is after the 'ppa' word.
  ppa file should be:

  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu saucy main
  # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu saucy main

  Using CLI method works fine (sudo add-apt-repository).

  I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 with latest updates. I have already tried
  multiple PPAs, with the same result.

  ********
   IMPACT 
  ********
  It is not possible to use a PPA added using the form 'ppa:lpuser/ppaname using software-properties-gtk' as an extra space is inserted in the sources line for the PPA.  This was due to the dropping of a strip() between versions 0.92.26 and 0.92.27.  The change just adds the strip() back.

  ***********
   TEST CASE
  ***********
  1. Open 'Software & Updates'.
  2. Go to 'Other Software' tab.
  3. Click on "Add..."
  4. In the 'APT Line' Textbox write the PPA repository (example: 'ppa:libreoffice/ppa').
  5. Click on "Add Source" button.
  6. Check the contents of the file created on /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa-name.list, you'll notice an a space between ppa /ubuntu.  Additionally the ppa-name.list file with have an underscore so 'ppa-name_.list'.
