Bug#533529: Missing config option for sources.list.d/

[Goswin Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

Hi,

in ia32-apt-get I'm using

-o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/etc/apt/foreign/sources.list

to change the sources.list used by apt. But then apt still uses
/etc/apt/sources.list.d for further sources.list files and there seems
to be no option to change that path.

For a start the .d/ directory could be constructed from the
Dir::Etc::sourcelist by appending .d. That would give a good default
path. An explicit option for the dir itself might not even be needed.

MfG
	Goswin
