Speaking of Bullseye and transitions, "man sources.list" is now again listing dot sources files. It did so a while back just long enough for me to stumble on it then the extended reference seemed to disappear. Today's "man sources.list" has two references under the "SOURCES.LIST.D" and "DEB822-STYLE FORMAT" headings. One caveat is that third party vendors will need to be advised on how to sniff out a User's CHOICE toward that format. They will need to adjust what they do accordingly. Once they figure it out the first time, it's not an ongoing changing deal. It's just going to take them adding one or more additional lines of code that have a checkpoint for dot sources files. Warnings about duplicate entries for any package after a User updates apt or apt-get is the sign that tweak needs addressed by the TRUSTED outside/third party vendor. That complaint will occur because the vendor doesn't know to sniff the User's dot sources file(s) for their own repositories in the same way vendors already take a poke at our longstanding dot list files (based on personal experience).
