Title:
  Autoinstall with apt deb822 source on noble does not override
  '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources' despite
  'preserve_sources_list: false'

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When using the following apt section on autoinstall, it does not
  replace the existing ubuntu sources despite the preserve_sources_list
  variable being set to false. It does appear to replace
  /etc/apt/sources.list, but this file is no longer used in Ubuntu
  24.04.

  ======
  apt:
    preserve_sources_list: false
    fallback: abort
    geoip: false
    sources:
      landscape.sources:
        source: |
          Types: deb
          URIs: http://landscape.home/repository/standalone/ubuntu/
          Suites: noble noble-updates noble-security
          Components: main universe restricted multiverse

        key: |
          -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
          ...
          -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
  ======

  What ends up happening is the system will install from the Landscape
  mirror, but the other sources are not removed.
