Bug#819800: sources.list(5): contradictory about when to use deb822 format

[Thilo Six <debian@Xk2c.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.2.9
Severity: normal

Dear deity,  ;)

i am currently looking at transition to deb822 style sources list.
Doing so i encountered a contradiction in sources.list(5).

First it says deb822 is avail since apt 1.1, then it goes on with given
examples all about jessie archive entries.
jessie only has apt 1.0.9, so i guess from reading above mentioned hint,
that deb822 style won't work in jessie.

The manpage should be updated to be unambiguous:
:%s/\<jessie\>/stretch/g

Thanks.



kind regards,

     Thilo
