Bug description:
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
    1. launch terminal
    2. add some repository (for example, proprietary Opera without source code) 
with 
     sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free'
    3. update repositories with 
     sudo apt-get update

  EXPECTED RESULTS:
    Index files are updated, opera package may be installed with 
      sudo apt-get install opera

  ACTUAL RESULTS:
    Got error messages:
     W: Failed to fetch http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/stable/Release  Unable 
to find expected entry 'non-free/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong 
sources.list entry or malformed file)

      E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or
  old ones used instead.

    Unable to install opera with   
      sudo apt-get install opera
    Able to install opera after commenting out deb-src line.

  
  Please add option to add-apt-repository for skipping deb-src line.
