Targetting to affected series based on associated merge requests. This
bug is not yet fixed in production, so I'm looking into that first.
We're well into the freeze period now, so this needs to be have an FFe,
but the SRU template already filled out can largely serve this purpose;
I'll amend the bug title accordingly.

- ***** SRU TEMPLATE BELOW *****
-
- Somewhat related to LP:2062561, landscape-client currently only appends
- .save to source lists ending in .list, which leaves 822 style lists
- using the .sources extension intact.
-
- This means that applying a repository profile to any machine using the
- new .sources files will still have their public repository sources
- enabled after a repository profile is applied.

+ [Impact]
* Currently, as reported above, Landscape repository profiles only act
upon .list files while .sources remain in effect. As Noble transitioned
from the default source definition being the traditional .list files to
DEB822 .sources files, this bug manifested when a customer noticed
sources that they wanted disabled were still appearing in apt update.
* The determined solution was to add pattern matching for .sources
extensions as well as .list files. Merged PR here:
https://github.com/canonical/landscape-client/pull/298
* The first LTS to support DEB822 .sources was Xenial, however, the
first LTS where this format became the default was noble. The proposed
SRU is to bring this change back to Focal
[Testing]
* To reproduce the problem, apply a repository profile on a Noble
machine and observe that it does not migrate .sources files to
.sources.save by listing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and running apt
update to see that the sources are still being used
* Apply the patch and apply a Landscape profile, noting that .sources
files successfully move to .sources.save and no longer appear in the
output of apt update
[What can go wrong]
* The change is rather localized and brief, so it is not expected to
introduce any regressions or problems. Applying a profile may take more
time due to extra pattern matching and checking - particularly is the
filesystem has many .sources files
