Thanks for the patch. The description is a bit too much focused on PPAs. I changed it a little bit to emphasize more that it can also be used for normal repositiories:
add-apt-repository is a script for adding apt sources.list entries.
It can be used to add any repository and also provides a shorthand
synatax for Launchpad PPA (Personal Package Archive) repositories via
ppa:user/repository
