Title:
  add-apt-repository strangely adds in ubuntu

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  bdmurray at flash:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
  [sudo] password for bdmurray:
  Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~graphics-drivers/ubuntu/ppa'.
  The team named '~graphics-drivers' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/ppa'
  Please choose from the following available PPAs:
   * 'ppa':  Proprietary GPU Drivers

  Notice how the first command was missing a ~ and while that got added
  so did "/ubuntu/".  Manually, adding in the ~ and the command worked.

  bdmurray at flash:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:~graphics-drivers/ppa
   Fresh drivers from upstream, currently shipping Nvidia.
   ...

  This was on Ubuntu 16.04 with:

  bdmurray at flash:~$ apt-cache policy software-properties-common
  software-properties-common:
    Installed: 0.96.20.4
    Candidate: 0.96.20.4
    Version table:
