That's strange. I still kept receiving the notice, and when I execute `apt modernize-sources`, I get these four repositories:
The following files need modernizing:
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/1password.list
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/filebot.list
  - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/keepsolidinc.list
But all the four have "signed-by". For example:
➜ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list
deb [arch=i386,amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/dropbox.asc] http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu plucky main
Am I doing something wrong?

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.
