Package: apt
Version: 0.8.6
Severity: important


The sources.list(5) man page does not document how a deb or deb-src line
is expanded into a full URL by apt.

Also is should mention how it interacts with Packages file content so
that given a repository a user can construct a correct sources.list line
for it.

I don't think that this is something a regular user ought to know to use
apt. It also varies based on the RepositoryFormat (currently flat or
dists style) and all of them have sub-rules for creating even more
different indivual URIs.

Any reasonable repository should tell a user how to be properly added.
Especially as it has to tell the user also how to get the archive key
(securely!). A repository also consists of far more than a Packages
file…


If you want to know how a repository has to look like, see e.g.
https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat but I don't think the
sources.list manpage is a good place to document this. So closing as
wontfix.
