  [regression potential]

  any regression would likely cause add-apt-repository to incorrectly
  update the apt sources.list and/or sources.list.d file(s), most likely
  when modifying the deb-src lines

  [scope]

  this is needed in g and later

  the --enable-source parameter in focal and earlier could only be used
  with a specific repo to be modified, so this is not applicable to f or
  earlier
