Bug description:
During previous upgrades, most of my one-line-style sources (.list) in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d were not migrated to deb822 style (.sources)
(I believe because I added the signed-by option to them), and were
left disabled (renamed to .list.distUpgrade) after the upgrade.
The upgrade from noble to oracular again did not migrate the one-line-
style sources, however it deleted the source files instead of keeping
them disabled.
Luckily I have etckeeper installed so I was able to restore the files
and spend the (IMHO unnecessary) time to convert them to deb822 format
so that nothing like this will happen again.
Looking at the git history, it appears the .list files were renamed to
.list.migrate without adding a corresponding .sources file (and
without renaming/copying the .list file to .list.distUpgrade), then
later the .list.migrate files (and .list.distUpgrade files of
successfully migrated sources) were deleted.
I have been through 20+ Ubuntu upgrades, and there has been times when
something went wrong and I had to fix the upgrade in some way, but this is the
first time the process has deleted my configuration files without any notice or
error message. My guess is this is an unintentional programming error, but I am
still deeply disappointed.
