Bug#558404: apt: Fails to load additional package list from sources.list.d/name.list if name is not ASCII

[Josef Spillner <2005@kuarepoti-dju.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21
Severity: normal

I'm adding a package repository in /etc/apt.sources.list.d/fffff.list.
The next run of apt-get update picks it up.
Afterwards, I'm renaming this file to ффффф.list, the cyrillic counterpart.
Now apt-get doesn't pick it up anymore.

The part before .list should be matched in a way that it extends to Unicode
alphabet characters. I don't see any technical reasons to restrict this part
of the filename to ASCII.
