Greets, everybody . . .
Just did my regular apt update apt upgrade run (Debian Trixie) and after
I'd upgraded everything, I was presented with this:

Notice: Some sources can be modernized. Run 'apt modernize-sources' to do
so.
[/quote]
I did. There was nothing particularly surprising -- to the extent I could
make sense of it. I was, though, uncharacteristically careful, so:
[quote]
~$ apt modernize-sources
The following files need modernizing:
- /etc/apt/sources.list
- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list
- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/protonvpn-stable.list
Modernizing will replace .list files with the new .sources format,
add Signed-By values where they can be determined automatically,
and save the old files into .list.bak files.
This command supports the 'signed-by' and 'trusted' options. If you
have specified other options inside [] brackets, please transfer them
manually to the output files; see sources.list(5) for a mapping.
For a simulation, respond N in the following prompt.
Rewrite 4 sources? [Y/n] n
[/quote]
The simulation included, among other things, this:

Modernizing /etc/apt/sources.list...

The various other entries in /etc/apt/sources.list did appear to be signed.
I should probably know the significance of this, but I don't. More to the
point, I do not want to break anything.
Is there something here that Trinity ought to be including? Alternately, is
it safe to ignore it, with the expectation that my Trinity updates will
continue? Or should I make sure I never ever say yes to modernize-sources?
