I have done some tests and have read some log files, but I didn't find how this 'web' component got added to the 'sources.list' yet.

The dist-upgrade log doesn't show it:
2008-03-10 00:28:43,047 DEBUG examining: 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse'
2008-03-10 00:28:43,047 DEBUG entry 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse' updated to new dist

And if I remove 'web' manually, it doesn't get re-added when I use (the current version of) software-properties either.
Extra unknown components seem to be preserved by software-properties. (Shouldn't it remove non-existent components?)

Now, I don't have a clue how this 'web' was added to several people's sources.list ...
