behavior of changing apt_repository is to add a new line and preserving the old data

[zhong ming wu]

I had the following

- name: add my repository
  apt_repository: repo="deb http://repo.local.example.com/apt/u14 abcd main"


Then I changed it to

- name: add my repository
  apt_repository: repo="deb http://repo.local.example.com/apt/u14 xyz main"


Ansible just add a new line to the existing file in

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Is there any case where this behavior makes sense?  In my case, this breaks things because the server with 'abcd' distribution does not exist any more and 'apt-get update' fails

if you want to add a file in apt/sources.d use the copy module instead. 

I don't know any other uses to add-apt-repository than adding ppas.

(sorry for the trucated previous message)
