    "sudo apt modernize-sources"




    The Release Notes still need at least a mention of this issue and the modernize-sources solution; example deb822 sources are annoyingly
    longwinded, but I suppose we can get away with just pointing at
    https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList
    until forky, when we'll want to have *everything* in deb822.


    this has some info on how to opt out as well (i dont know why anyone would
    want to, but they will)

    That's no longer necessary for trixie:

    apt (3.0.2) unstable; urgency=medium
    [...]
    * Downgrade "modernize-sources" notice to audit
