Yeah, I'm not picky about the name. Though, I'm a fan of shorter names, 
especially since this is something that's very likely to be primarily used 
interactively instead of by scripts/cronjobs/etc. driving sbuild.

I just reported #714877 to apt, with the partial work I did. I'm also 
cloning my original bug to a separate report for --add-repository, since 
that's a separate request from --add-(extra)-package.
