For ppa's the first question is, do I really need this?   

For Debian, it has been painfully evident that the addition of Ubuntu based ppa can cause problems.    It can make your system actually go #!  (Crunch Bang).   Myself, I do have virtutalbox, and SpiderOak (cloud backup) ppa's that are for both Debian and Ubuntu - but I have researched and they are large companies that wish to be mission critical software for any os or distribution they support.   

Whenever you see "Launchpad" it is a hint that the ppa is quite Ubuntucentric and has a higher risk of making problems for you. 

Short answer - it goes into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/    I would use nano in a terminal, but there are (as usual in linux) various other ways to do it and some might be more effective.

man apt  discusses the edit-sources option which is described as a work in progress.
