The validation of sources.list entries is completely different from what happens when downloading files. When files are acquired, the Acquire system knows which kinds of URLs are supported, but this cannot be done in the sources.list stuff. The only thing we could really check for is the existance of at least ":/" in the URI, but I guess this is all. It's also not needed, as long as it fails; which it does during fetching. If the user does something wrong, he currently notices it, and an additional check would not be more helpful.
