FWIW my take on this man page is different from yours.
The format for two one-line-style entries using the deb and
deb-src types is:
deb [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1]
[component2] [...]
deb-src [ option1=value1 option2=value2 ] uri suite [component1]
[component2] [...]
The " [ " and " ] " stand for themselves, and delimit the option list.
The " [component1] " stands for, say, "main" or "contrib" etc., ie brackets are
metacharacters.
Perhaps:
deb "[" option1=value1 option2=value2 "]" uri suite [component1]
[component2] [...]
deb-src "[" option1=value1 option2=value2 "]" uri suite [component1]
[component2] [...]
would be clearer.
Cheers,
David.
