Bug Description

Naturally, a lot of PPA's don't make reference to all the software packages they contain; less do they make reference to the specific software package in the PPA you installed the PPA for to begin with; so, I propose:

Let comments be added for sources through add-apt-repository, perhaps something like:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:software-archive --comment "Mind-controlled text editor"

That way when I browse my software repositories, I don't have to look up the PPA to see what it contains.
