It would be nice to be able to support deb822-style APT sources in
--extra-repository. Obviously, this isn't a good fit for the command
line, but it could be specified in a file?

This would allow linking a extra repository key directly with the
extra-repository.

The use-case here is Debusine.

If the use-case is debusine, then maybe freexian can send a patch? :)

Thanks!

I was looking to add a debusine repo to sbuild today to be able to use
Python 3.15-compatible packages to work on the next level of failures...
and came across this bug.

My perl is *very* rusty and so the attached patch is mostly based on
copying adjacent code to add a --extra-repository-file option. Tested with:

$ sbuild \
     --extra-repository-file debusine-py315rebuilds.sources \
     python-pyqtgraph_0.14.0*dsc

[...]
I: Setting up apt archive...
Installed extra repository file py315rebuilds.sources as
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbuild-extra-repository-rPpBuNLepQ.sources
[...]

Hope that helps!
