wrong PPA series used if system name not Ubuntu

Status in software-properties source package in Xenial:

Status in software-properties source package in Yakkety:

Bug description:
If the DISTRIB_ID in /etc/lsb-release is not 'ubuntu' add-apt-
repositories will use the latest series of the PPA even if the
DISTRIB_CODENAME would match with what is available in the PPA.
# Test Case
- change lsb-release to say DISTRIB_ID=yolo
- copy /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info to
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/yolo.info
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
- should add xenial to sources.list.d
# Regression potential
The current behavior of using the latest series is last ditch effort
at come up with anything valid. The proposed change simply extends the
acceptable deviation from 100 match.
# Other info
Change has been used in production in KDE neon for months now. No side
effects observed.
