Package: debian-reference
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,

in ch02, the documentation mentions the deb822 apt sources files, and says
their file extension is ".source", but in reality it's ".sources".

To people who are new to the deb822 specs, this may lead to misnaming their
files, and subsequently package sources will not be found.  (apt-update prints
warnings however about the unrecognized files.)

The occurrences I found in "Chapter 2. Debian package management" so far, in
are:

> This can be defined anywhere in the "/etc/apt/sources.list" file,
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list" files, or "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.source"
files.

and

> It's definition files are in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.source" files.

`*.source` should be changed to `*.sources` here.
