With the previous discussion on modernizing one's apt sources files, I
went ahead and did it on two of my trixie installations.

The two original sources files were preserved, which might be useful
for some oddball installations.

Note that sources.list, which resides in /etc/apt, is replaced by
debian.sources, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.

My sources.list was translated cleanly on both machines.

vivaldi.list, on one of them, had a glitch, as apt could not determine
which key to use for its Signed-By value. There were three
possibilities among trusted.gpg.d/vivaldi-*. I tried the newest one,
and that failed an "apt update". So I substituted the next newest. That
one worked, and a subsequent "apt upgrade" worked.

I suspect we'll be living with mixed .list and .sources files as
suppliers upgrade what they ship.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
