Title:
  add-apt-repository does not re-enable repos disabled in upgrade

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

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable a PPA repository with add-apt-repository
  2. Upgrade Ubuntu (for example from Karmic to Lucid)
  3. Notice that PPA packages are not available, run add-apt-repository again

  What happens:

  add-apt-repository does not uncomment the line in the relevant file
  under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

  What should happen:

  add-apt-repository recreates the relevant file enabling the
  repository, or at least give a message telling that the repository is
  disabled and that manual action is needed.
