Hello there dear developer!

Recently I modernized my apt sources (sudo apt modernize-sources),
everything worked great no issues.

But now executing "sudo apt edit-sources" doesn't work, and I get it,
now the file isn't in use and to make changes in my sources file I need
to edit it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources".

So my question is, in future Debian version (forky), are you going to
link "apt edit-sources" to the new file location=20
(/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources) or are you going to remove
that option?

And another one (sorry), is it safe if I just create a link from
/etc/apt/sources.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources to be
able to keep using "edit-sources" option?=20

Thank you for your response, and thank you for your great work!

George
