Title:
  Creates sources.list.d file with illegal character in name

Status in The apt sources.list editor used in Ubuntu (and Kubuntu):
  Confirmed
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For example:

  apt-add-repository ppa:sevenmachines/release+1

  creates a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-
  release+1-lucid.list.

  However, man sources.list says

  File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z
  and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.)
  characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored.

  So therefore this newly created list file is silently ignored (verify
  by apt-get update and looking in /var/lib/apt/lists)

  Ubuntu 10.04
  python-software-properties 0.75.10
