Bug#792237: lintian: false positive: package-install-apt-sources matches too much



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.33
Severity: important

I have a local configuration package that contains
/etc/apt/sources.available/*.list - various snippets that I can link
into /etc/apt/sources.d/
This triggers package-install-apt-sources although it shouldn't:

E: anbe-config-apt: package-install-apt-sources etc/apt/sources.list.available/                          
N:                                                                                                         
N:    Debian packages should not install files under /etc/apt/sources.d/ or                                
N:    install a /etc/apt/sources file. This directory is under the control of                              
N:    the local administrator.                                                                             

Also there seems to be an error in the description, the config file
is called /etc/apt/sources.list, not /etc/apt/sources.
