It is a known issue.
I think you can circumvent it by creating a /etc/apt/auth.conf
in the style of a netrc (5) file: 'man 5 netrc'
Its from a security point of view better as this file doesn't need to
be readable by anyone except root while sources.list(.d) is needed
also for commands which require only "normal" user rights.
