If dpkg offers to put the deb line in for the user, it should make the instruction in the README about where to put the line redundant. But because apt does not behave as expected, even with the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and a proper /etc/apt/preferences file, I am inclined to believe that this may be a different bug. Bug 248787 can be attributed to user error for not following the README. The combination of the deb line at the top of the sources.list and the /etc/apt/preferences file provided in the other bug report (which is slightly different from the README version) works as expected. I will test later if the /etc/apt/preferences file and an apt- build.sources.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list, with the deb line in sources.list commented out, works as expected. If it does not, then putting an apt-build file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d is a pointless behavior as the deb line is still required in sources.list per the README, and would merit a new bug.
