Feel free to open a wishlist bug report for it, that seems entirely
reasonable.
Looking at apt-setup and apt-setup-verify to see how we deal with
commented out entries, it doesn't seem trivial (at least to me right
now) to implement that before Jessie is out. But that's certainly
something we can do for Stretch.

I suppose this would be something similar to add-apt-repository (or
apt-add-repository), from the software-properties-common package.
