Always RTFM... The '.list' extension was a mimic of my sources list files, I was not thinking it would cause trouble, even though I thought about that hypothesis doing it. I get the same problem whether I use aptitude or apt-get, the '.' is not tolerated. Strange.
No bug then, maybe just a feature I consider not being intuitive.
