Please add apt/sources.list.d/*.save to the list of files to ignore.

These files apparently get created by add-apt-repository, which is a
common method to add PPAs (personal package archives) for Ubuntu, and
are just copies of the original list files.

Recent versions of aptitude (such as the one present in Maverick) have
started warning about non-.list files (such as *.save) that are present
in that directory. Do you know whether add-apt-repository is planned to
keep creating those files or whether there are perhaps plans to have
aptitude ignore those files ?

Noticed this, too.
However, I could not reproduce/trigger this currently, using "aptitude
update" or "aptitude install".

No, I don't know about this.

However, does it make any difference in regard to if etckeeper should
ignore the files?
