Title:
  ubuntu.sources can become broken via GUI

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With the latest proposed versions of software-properties-gtk,
  software-properties-common, and python3-software-properties (0.99.44),
  it is possible to break the default ubuntu.sources list.

  How to replicate
  1. Open software-properties-gtk
  2. Uncheck all of the repository suites (main, universe, multiverse, etc.)
  3. Cat the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources file. It should be mostly empty.
  4. Re-check all of the repository suites again.
  5. Cat the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources file again. It will still be mostly empty with no repository configuration present.

  
  The ubuntu.sources file remains in a broken state even though software-properties-gtk shows the suites as checked.

  We can workaround this issue by using the 'Revert' button in software-
  properties-gtk.
