Bug#1041990: please make source.list file names more clear

Package: apt
Version: 2.7.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I was trying to find out whether there is support for an
/etc/apt/sources or /etc/apt/sources.sources file. From what I guess
from the sources.list(5) manpage, *.sources files are only permitted
inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d, so the only file that apt ready outside
that directory is actually the traditional /etc/apt/sources.list in old
format. I would be nice if that would be spelled out more clear in the
manual page; if I deduced things wrongly, then it is even more important
to have this spelled out in the docs.

Greetings
Marc
