Does anyone use the separate .list files under sources.list.d? I've only seen Sidux/Aptosid do this by default, but I haven't seen anyone else use that setup.

Rep:
It's a personal preference I suppose, I don't like getting messages telling me that a file is "malformed". I just delete the file and the message goes away and apt works fine.

Only thing I have under sources.list.d is Google's Music Manager

Decided to try using separate *.list files again. Gave me a chance to clean up and better organize my sources.

An example of one of my .list files. Set it up to show me the information like where I got it from, why I have it, etc... Probably more useful for 3rd party repositories.
Code:
$ cat debian-unstable.list

MMS -My Media System- is an application that manages, displays and plays
media content such as videos, music, pictures, and more. MMS runs
perfectly on anything from a Set-Top-Box connected to your TV-Set, to your
specially tailored multimedia PC and HD display.
lamaresh is a little behind the current wine version, but ahead of the debian repository. Seems the frickelplatz repository is more up to date with wine.
Even though it's 'sidux.list', it contains the repositories for aptosid (formerly sidux). I just haven't renamed it to aptosid.list. I used to use Sidux to install my systems.
When I added playonlinux, it was newer than the debian repo.
And before anyone points out remastersys.list, remastersys is no longer maintained, nor will it install on anything after squeeze as it is superseded by live-build. So I'm removing it.
Yesterday I simply removed repositories that no longer existed, such as google's repo and a few others.
