Bug Description

the partial removal of lsb-release in the core snap causes apt-add-repository to always add the latest development release to sources.list instead of the running revision.
the tarball diff used by the classic snap should make sure to restore lsb-release when creating the classic chroot environment.

to work around this issue:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall lsb-release

before using apt-add-repository for the first time works around this issue.
