Debian 13 introduces a new standard file for setting up remote package repositories:
https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/upgrading.en.html#preparing-apt-sources-files
Is whonix-18 going to switch to that format?

Maybe. Probably. Low priority. See also:

Should definitely do it on your Trixie release because it’s the default in the Trixie images now.
Explanation of the DEB822 Source Format — RepoLib documentation explains exactly a number of reasons why this is a good idea. It’s a bit surprising it’s taken the Debian world so long to adopt something sane like this. We’ve had this in Fedora’s yum.repos.d for a very long time.

Is this decided nowadays? I haven’t tried whonix-18 release on QubesOS 4.3-rc3 (I am awaiting for the proper release of 4.3). Is whonix-18 using the new debian.sources format?
