Bug#426913: sources.list.d file name limitations: no @ allowed



Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1
Severity: normal

sources.list.d files may not contain a @ in their name. This is an
unnecessary limitation, it seems (it's nice to call files like
sid@ftp.ch.debian.org) and not documented. It would be nice if
special characters were allowed.
