Public bug reported:
When removing a ppa with software-properties-gtk or with :
`sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xxx/yyy
`
it merely empties the file one wants to remove and leaves an empty
theuglyppa.list file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`
This seem quite illogical to keep such residue especially for newbies who won't
know that they should add :
`sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/theuglyppa.list*
`
to their cleaning procedure.
Could the removal actually remove ?
