Source: apt-setup
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Thank you for maintaining d-i!
I may be late to the bookworm party but… It would be nice if d-i could
provide deb822-style sources.list (by default) for newly installed
machines.
Apologies in advance if I missed a duplicate in a more appropriate
module.
Cheers,
taffit

This seems late indeed.

Hiya, we just flipped the switch for Ubuntu, I think it's about time

we switch apt-setup for trixie.
The path we picked for Ubuntu was to keep a transtional sources.list
file:
# Ubuntu sources have moved to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
# file, which uses the deb822 format. Use deb822-formatted .sources files
# to manage package sources in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.
# See the sources.list(5) manual page for details.
We probably should use the same text with s/Ubuntu/Debian/;s/ubuntu/debian/.
Having the transitional commented sources.list helps various tools
that identify a debian-style system by looking at sources.list
presence and guides the user.
The Debian sources should then be in sources.list.d/debian.sources. See
the Docker images tianon builds for Debian, they have already switched
and provide (only) the debian.sources.
Thank you!
