repository string
REPOSITORY can be either a line that can be added directly
to sources.list(5), in the form ppa:<user>/<ppa-name>
for adding Personal Package Archives, or a distribution component
to enable.
In the first form, REPOSITORY will just be appended to
/etc/apt/sources.list.
In the second form, ppa:<user>/<ppa-name> will be
expanded to the full deb line of the PPA and added into a new
file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. The GPG public
key of the newly added PPA will also be downloaded and added to
apt’s keyring.
In the third form, the given distribution component will be
enabled for all sources.
