[mantic] ppa-purge no longer purges what add-apt-repository adds

Bug description:
Test Case
---------
From Ubuntu 23.10:
sudo apt install hello
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jbicha/temp
sudo apt upgrade
apt policy hello
sudo ppa-purge ppa:jbicha/temp
apt policy hello
reveals that the PPA version of hello is still installed
Also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jbicha-ubuntu-temp-mantic.sources
is still present and active
What Should Happen
------------------
ppa-purge should disable the PPA and reinstall any PPA packages with the
version apt currently sees.
Background
----------
add-apt-repository creates deb822 sources lists, starting in Ubuntu 23.10
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-apt-deb822-sources-by-
default/29333
Other Info
----------
add-apt-repository has a --remove option
But it does not do the reinstall part which is important
Honestly, that feature is so important, I suggest that add-apt-repository
take over the functionality of ppa-purge so that we always get the ppa-purge
behavior
