This was temporarily downgraded in the 3.0.y series for Trixie as the
Debian installer wasn't ready. In Ubuntu we fully migrated to .sources
in 24.04 already, including translating any third party sources.

This warning is security relevant and not merely informational, it's
only issued for repositories lacking the signed-by field.

Title:
  modernize-sources warning still appearing on Questing

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I think maybe this is a problem with the upstream.

  According to this, https://tracker.debian.org/news/1647058/accepted-
  apt-302-source-into-unstable/, the version 3.0.2 downgrade the
  modernize source to audit, so I should see information about it just
  when I execute apt with `--audit`.

  This change, and perhaps others, weren't moved to version 3.1.2, the
  version used in questing today.

  This message is really annoying. I can't modernize source because of
  some applications, like Spotify and Steam, recreate the .list file
  when they are updated, so that's cause a worse warning about source
  duplication.
