@carlfk, can you elaborate on:

> deploy a private key (or similarly sensitive secret) file and a publicly
> readable script (apt-add-repository...) and it just runs, no browser,
> no user, no typing

for a private ppa, the script will only generate 3 files (e.g. for ppa:ddstreet/private on disco):
1) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddstreet-ubuntu-private-disco.list
2) /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/ddstreet_ubuntu_private.conf
3) /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ddstreet_ubuntu_private.gpg

you could just copy those directly to whatever system you want, and not
have to run anything at all on the system (besides 'sudo apt update' and
then upgrade/install).  Are you asking for something different?

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.
