[Bug 1170114] Re: Add --disable-component option

[Robert Roth]

FYI: Are you aware that add-apt-repository has an option to do that? You
can simply 'add-apt-repository multiverse' to enable multiverse and
'add-apt-repository -r multiverse' to disable multiverse. Actually that
has been added because on servers people did not want to pull in the gtk
version of software properties, but only to have a CLI interface to do
that. In this context, it would even make sense to remove the --enable-
component and --enable-ppa options from software-properties-gtk, as
that's what add-apt-repository stands for.
