*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

1.) When running software-properties-gtk on powerpc, it configures
/etc/apt/source.list with archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and
security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, even although those don't carry the powerpc
arch anymore; leaving the system update-wise in a dead-end, thus also
causing the casual non-geek user to miss criticial security updates for
hardy :-/

2.) when calling software-properties-gtk after having configured
/etc/apt/source.list manually for ports.ubuntu.com/, software-
properties-gtk lists the ports.ubunt.com entries as 'third party
software' sources

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