> apt modernize-sources

Oh nifty, I hand converted all mine a couple years back. It would have been nice to have that then (or know about it?). I do really like the new deb822 format, having the gpg key inline is nice. I do hope that once this is out there the folks with custom public apt repos will start giving out .sources files directly. Should be more straightforward than all the apt-key junk one used to have to do (especially when a key rotated).

Same. It took me a little bit to get used to it; my initial snap judgment was “this will be more annoying to create via scripting,” but then Ansible added deb822_repository [0] in 2.15 (shortly before Bookworm was released), and then it was no longer a concern.
