Ohhh, now I get it. Thanks!

I've been doing all of my experiments using localtest and enqueue, and
--extra-apt-sources is not present there.

Would you consider an MR adding this to enqueue? Or is this by design?

It can't be (easily) added to localtest, but that's not the of that
script, unless I'm mistaken. At least, I just use it to kick the tires
of the local setup.

Thanks a lot!
Christian
