software-properties-common is needed to add ppas on ubuntu. the
puppetlabs-apt module can manage the package. it is save to enable this,
because the module uses ensure_package: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/df40baebedf5c0c15e08f3ec78adfd760b1371ca/manifests/ppa.pp#L30
Without this, managing ppa repos at least on ubuntu 16.04 is impossible. I noticed this bug while testing with aceptance tests in #418
