Could you add a test case for this? I only see a duplicated commented
out deb-src entry which doesn't seem terribly important.

Title:
  add-apt-repository will write duplicate entries to
  /etc/apt/sources.list

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello,
  Add-apt-repository command allows one to add duplicate entries to sources list. Would it be possible to improve this utility it so it adds only unique entries?

  Eg. This command, when run twice, adds duplicate entries.
  $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner

  $ grep -Ri partner /etc/apt/sources.list
