[Bug 2061128] Re: `add-apt-repository --pocket` doesn't work on Noble (Deb822?)

[Nick Rosbrook]

Hm, yeah this was overlooked too. The initial deb822 support in
software-properties was mostly about adding PPAs. It looks like we need
to go through and add more general deb822 support.

Title:
  `add-apt-repository --pocket` doesn't work on Noble (Deb822?)

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It seems like `add-apt-repository` doesn't know how to enable a new
  pocket when Ubuntu's sources are defined in Deb822 (.sources) source
  file.

  Step to reproduce:
  1. Create a Noble chroot with e.g. Docker. Verify that in such chroot, Deb822 is used for Ubuntu's source (`ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources`).
  2. Run `add-apt-repository --pocket proposed`. Accept the prompt.
  3. Run `apt policy`.
    - Expected result: `noble-proposed` is listed.
    - Actual result: `noble-proposed` is not listed.

  This might be related to LP: #2060331, but since I'm not sure how it
  works, I'm filing a new bug here.
