Thanks Jamie,
Does this new patch address your concerns? Instead of hard-coding the type, distro, components, etc. it extracts them back out of the SourceEntry object.

Title:
add-apt-repository will write duplicate entries to
/etc/apt/sources.list
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
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
