This would also be helpful if some deb lines contain a password
granting access to evil commercial, non-distributable software.
Currently, it is necessary to have sources.list non-world-readable
which is a nuisance. With an include directive, one could move the
sensitive information to a different file which then can the
appropriate restrictive access modes.
apt would need to optionally ignore read errors on included files
though.
