I do play with the new d-i every day now, so you can take my word for
it. It does. I don't tink that the word "apt" is mentioned there.

Configuring apt sources is part of the distro's job. The vendor of
apt4rpm can't guess what distro you have, what are its mirrors, which of
them are up-to-date and which of them reside where.

That said, /etc/apt/sources.list is really very simple. nd with apt4rpm
you don't have to touch it: you can add a source to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d . In fact, many packages do that.
