Since February 2025, Debian 13 (Trixie) and APT introduced the deb822 format for managing APT sources. This new format replaces the traditional /etc/apt/sources.list file with the more structured and readable /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources file.
This change was introduced by APT, starting with an update that enabled users to run:
apt modernize-sourcesThis command automatically converts the old sources.list format to the new deb822 format.
