As (i) and (iii) are now fixed (both deb and deb-src lines are always added - see bug #399711 -- and removed -- see bug #838507 ), and for (ii) there is another bug reported, I am marking this bug as a duplicate of the one discussing (ii) separately, namely bug #520343.

   Only mentions the deb http://foo.bar format instead of the newer ppa://foo/bar format

Title:
  Adding deb,deb-src details to Other Software is awkward

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Software properties could do with some TLC to make adding PPA details
  a bit easier.

  (i) If the source line for a ppa is in Other Software already, then using the ppa:xxxxx/yyyy shortcut doesn't add the binary line.
  (ii) The instructions on the 'Add' dialog don't tell you how to use the ppa shortcut.
  (iii) There doesn't appear to be a way to get it to add both the binary and the source lines in a single step.

  I know that 'real programmers' probably use echo from the command
  line, but if there is to be an interface it should at least be
  functionally complete.
