I have noticed the same problem on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise). In that release, the package is named python-software-properties. It is not clear to me why there is a "hard" dependency here. When forced to install without unattended-upgrades, add-apt-repository works without a hitch. Perhaps a better choice would be a "suggest" or "recommend" dependency, or none at all.
