apt-add-repository --remove doesn't remove deb-src entry

The proposed fix still does not address the missing documentation mentioned in the older bug report comment #2:

Additional related bug: The --remove option is not documented in the add-apt-repository(1) man page.

@Gregory Margo: thanks for pointing that out, I have updated the branch with the manpage update with all the options documented and some other minor changes.

This is not solved at all.

The same problem still exists, and, even worse, when trying to add the ppa again after having removed it with "apt-add-repository --remove" (the src entry still there), you get a corrupt list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with a src entry.

Yes, the line starts with src, not deb or deb-src.

Synaptic then throws an error and immediately closes.

Sorry for not testing this sooner while it was in proposed btw. I'm still using natty on my main machine.

How did this get copied to oneiric-updates? It never passed verification!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
