[Bug 871592] [NEW] software centre messes up sources.list config

[Alistair Buxton]

Public bug reported:

When software centre enables the partner repo, it does it by adding a
new entry to /etc/apt/sources.list.d

There is already a commented entry in /etc/apt/sources.list

This results in synaptic displaying that the partner repo is both
enabled and disabled at the same time. (see screenshot.)
