📄 Description

The sources.list file format has been officially superseded by the deb822 debian.sources format as of Debian 13 Trixie and Ubuntu 24.04 (see https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList); while the old format isn't yet deprecated, it'd probably be wise to direct users to use the new default format. Thus, I have Debian/Ubuntu section to reflect this.

I opted to add the new method as the one for Debian 13 / Ubuntu 24.04 or later, while leaving the old method as the one for Debian 12 / Ubuntu 23.10 or older so that the sources file matches the system default; however, the new format seems to have been supported for several years before it became default (since roughly Debian Stretch), so if you wanted, I could even make a commit and just get rid of the old method entirely.
