Hello,
Add-apt-repository command seems to add duplicate entries to sources list. Would it be possible to improve this utility it so it adds only unique entries?

Eg. This command, when runned twice, adds duplicate entries.
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner

$ grep -Ri partner /etc/apt/sources.list
