There is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ . One idea is that you could have a package install a non-free-firmware apt source line there without needing to touch anyone's primary /etc/apt/sources.list I'm guessing things that change apt sources for mirrors would need to be able to handle that file, but maybe they needed to handle sources.list.d/ anyway.
