Why not simplify that procedure, by creating a small configuration file, that an Ubuntu utility will be able to parse (showing a warning and an explanation, of course) and add it to sources.list?


/---------------------------------------\
| Add software channel:
| l33t Ubuntu Games
|
| description:
| this channel contains l33t games
|
| [Add channel] [bail]
\---------------------------------------/

[root password]

I think this will complement gdebi nicely, and will allow for seamless installation and expandability of Ubuntu, as a platform



for example - channel.conf.deb
name = The l33t Ubuntu games channel
description = this channel contains l33t games
deb_url = http://www.leetUbuntugames.org
deb_target = 8.10
gpg_key = 0xfoobar0xdeadbeef0xdeadcaffe0xfeedface
conf_file_origin = http:// (in order to update the configuration file when new ubuntu version is out)
