[林博仁(Henry Lin)]

** Description changed:

  Some software repository doesn't provide sourcecode, so adding deb-src for them will cause problem.
  I suggest add a "--no-source" option to prevent add-apt-repository to add such line
  
  this should be a wishlist tag...
+ 
+ temporary workaround
+ 
+ add-apt-repository --remove "deb-src <repository url>" > /dev/null #add-
+ apt-repository will errorly attempt to find "deb-src-src" entry as well
