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.
