Thanks for doing the bug report.

I can't see the reason for writing anything to sources.list(.d) anyway, 
you need that already set up to apt-get the keyring package!

If you already set TDE in main sources.list, you would then have double 
entries for the same stuff. Also, the ubuntu reference is confusing.

It's quite common for Debian users to manually enter non-Debian lists in 
sources.list.d.
