Title: add-apt-repository should allow version specification or offer next highest repo version if repo for running version is not found Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Let's say I'm running the Lucid alphas but the PPA only offers up to Karmic. add-apt-repository does not let me specify Karmic and if I use the command as designed, a deb/deb-src line for a non-existent Lucid repo is added to my source list rather than the desired Karmic repo. In order to get the Karmic repo, I have to add the deb/deb-src manually or through the GUI without automagically getting the necessary GPG keys. Furthermore, add-apt-repo should automatically offer then next highest repo version if a repo for the running version is not present. If a Lucid repo is not present for my Lucid install, offer the Karmic repo instead.
