Wouldn't it be easier and safer just to tell folks to place a line should they choose to do so in source.list to reference their repositiory? Or give me an option to do it for me in post-install (which is what I thought they were doing without the option)? Would the /etc/apt/sources.d entry be sufficient in itself?
