No idea how that behaves, but it is certainly not a drop-in as it is kind of the point of it so if jumping ship is a good idea I will leave up to you. I still don't see what you gain by that, but okay: I will repeat just once that I would remove such a bad source instantly as in my eyes such a source can not be trusted with unchecked root access to my machine [which is practically what it gains by installing packages from there] even if they happen to produce a valid file in the future again… Best regards David Kalnischkies P.S.: That repo seems to provide a "buster" release (as in for Debian stable) instead of "disco" (for Ubuntu something) and that one seems to be syntactically valid… – at least it doesn't have the same obvious error in the file.
