Bug#478098: apt: sources.list manpage is unclear about sources.list.d

[Timothy G Abbott <tabbott@MIT.EDU>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.11
Severity: minor

The man pages for sources.list describes the sources.list.d directory as 
follows:

SOURCES.LIST.D
       The /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory provides a way to add 
sources.list entries in seperate files that end with sources.list file.

I think it should be:

SOURCES.LIST.D
       The /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory provides a way to add
sources.list entries in seperate files whose names end with .list.

since that is more grammatical, and the filename ending seems to only need 
to have .list, not sources.list, for apt to pick up files in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d.

Though frankly, I don't understand why apt doesn't just take all files in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d whose names don't end with the standard backup 
file characters.
