FYI: Are you aware that add-apt-repository has an option to do that? You can simply 'add-apt-repository multiverse' to enable multiverse and 'add-apt-repository -r multiverse' to disable multiverse. Actually that has been added because on servers people did not want to pull in the gtk version of software properties, but only to have a CLI interface to do that. In this context, it would even make sense to remove the --enable-component and --enable-ppa options from software- properties- gtk, as that's what add-apt-repository stands for.
