Title:
  invalid sources.list generated from reading apt-
  setup/local0/repository

Status in base-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  hi,
  it looks like configure_apt from library.sh will add the contents of apt-setup/local0/repository verbatim to the sources file. This works only if the repository is prefixed with "deb ", which for apt-setup is optional. Not using a repository prefixed with "deb" will result in an invalid sources.list file.
