Public bug reported:

Package: python-software-properties
Release: 9.10 karmic-update

Expected: When running "sudo add-apt-repository "deb
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse", I expected a
new file to be inserted in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with the new
repository.

What happens: Instead, /etc/apt/source.list was moved to
/etc/apt/source.list.save and /etc/apt/source.list was updated.

Typically, if a debian package has configuration changes, they should be
in the .d/ directory for management (i.e. if urls are changed in the
base installation, etc...)

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided

add-apt-repository should write to a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ 
rather than /etc/apt/source.list
