Bug Description

apt-add-repository no longer seems to be installed by the python-software-properties package as of Linux Mint 14 (Nadia).

I can hazard a guess that this omission is due to the fact that the lsb names differ between Mint and Ubuntu, but it's omission breaks a pretty core part of Ubuntu launchpad functionality and a lot of the advice on dealing with Ubuntu-like distributions when it comes to packaging concerns.

IMO this feature should be restored, possibly with some extra functionality to map Linux Mint names to Ubuntu names to ensure smooth operation.
