dselect uses a different format for /var/lib/dpkg/cmethopt and /var/lib/dpkg/<method>/*. Most of the other non-apt package managers I know are apt clones. If I remember correctly, reprepro can pull from one APT repository to populate another and does not use sources.list format, either. Using the sources.list format to illustrate terminology doesn't seem like a bad idea, though.
