# `package-installs-apt-sources`

Debian packages should not install files under `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` or install an `/etc/apt/sources.list` file.

The selection of installation sources is under the control of the local administrator. Packages are generally not allowed to change the administrator's choices.

As a limited exception for the convenience of administrators, packages whose names end in the clearly named `-apt-source` are permitted to install such files.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `package-install-apt-sources`
