@mpt: We can query the repository data for PPAs without having to add
them to the sources, as it's done in apt-add-repository to confirm that
you want to add the repository, so we could query the name/short
description. However there still are some blanks, like medibuntu or
other (non-PPA) repositories used, for which we either have to add them
to the software sources, or build the repository description file URL
and read the description from there (From the release file we can get
the name of the release, and we should map components like main,
universe, etc to human-readable names).
