Bug description:
  Thank you @jbicha for the original bug report!

  [ Impact ]

  Currently ppa-purge fails to purge packages on distribution using the deb822 source format. Currently mantic and noble make use of this format and are affected by this issue.
  When running ppa-purge to remove a custom PPA, ppa-purge fails to disable the custom PPA since it cannot disable deb822 sources and leads to apt still querying the ppa when running:

  $ apt update

  In older versions of ubuntu, PPAs used the ".list" format which could be disabled by simply commenting out the "deb" line with a "#". This was the method that ppa-purge used to disable PPAs.
  This new patch allows ppa-purge to detect and disable deb822 source files by adding an "Enabled: no" field in each component section of the deb822 file. It also removes any line that starts with "Enabled:"
  to make sure the resulting file is clean.

  [ Test Plan ]

  The changes were tested on both mantic and noble in a lxc container using the oibaf mesa PPA (https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers) as the test PPA.
  The following steps were recorded in a noble lxc container.

   - First make sure that mesa-utils is installed in your environment:
      $ sudo apt update && sudo apt install mesa-utils

   - Add the oibaf PPA to your system using the following command:
      $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

   - Make sure that the mesa-utils packages were upgraded after adding the PPA:
      $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
      $ dpkg - l | grep mesa

   - output should be similar to the following:

      ii  libegl-mesa0:amd64              24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n       amd64        free implementation of the EGL API -- Mesa vendor library

   - Install and run ppa-purge:
      $ sudo apt install ppa-purge
      $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

   - ppa-purge will report at the end that none of the oibaf packages
  need to be downgraded/removed:

  - This confirms that the packages were indeed downgraded. We can also check from the sources file that it was indeed disabled with "Enabled: no":
      $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf-ubuntu-graphics-drivers-noble.sources

      Types: deb
      URIs: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/
      Suites: noble
      Components: main
      Enabled: no
      Signed-By:
      -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
      ...

  - Running sudo apt update also shows that the oibaf PPA URL is not
  being queried:

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  - Patch could fail to disable the PPA if an "Enabled: yes" entry was not detected and removed or if no Components line was found. This would cause ppa-purge to fails again in the same manner it is currently failing.
  - The patch could also fail to detect the file in its entirety if the file name does not end with ".sources" or if its name does not follow the pattern $PPAOWNER/$PPANAME


  
  [Original Description]
  Test Case
  ---------
  From Ubuntu 23.10:

  sudo apt install hello
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jbicha/temp
  sudo apt upgrade

  apt policy hello

  sudo ppa-purge ppa:jbicha/temp

  apt policy hello
  reveals that the PPA version of hello is still installed

  Also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jbicha-ubuntu-temp-mantic.sources
  is still present and active

  What Should Happen
  ------------------
  ppa-purge should disable the PPA and reinstall any PPA packages with the version apt currently sees.

  Background
  ----------
  add-apt-repository creates deb822 sources lists, starting in Ubuntu 23.10

  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-apt-deb822-sources-by-
  default/29333

  Other Info
  ----------
  add-apt-repository has a --remove option

  But it does not do the reinstall part which is important
  Honestly, that feature is so important, I suggest that add-apt-repository take over the functionality of ppa-purge so that we always get the ppa-purge behavior
