Bug Description
If apt-add-repository has to work with a file with 20000 entries, even when all but 20 are commented out, it will bring a machine slowly to a halt.
IO writes of >100MB/s will happen, so basically saturating all available bandwidth of a rotating disk.
This will bring a machine to a stand still due to extreme load.
