 The install directions on the TDE site say to add sources to the ~/sources.list 
file.  Why have two lists ?

This is something I have always done, manage my own sources.list, not 
necessarily 'best practices'. Probably a good reason Debian has the 
~/sources.list.d dir :-)

 I was not aware  TDE was writing sources until I read this thread and looked. I 
have  a google-chrome.list there, I know Opera writes there also.
