It is more like "the application installer does not tell the backup tool
to backup its /etc/apt/sources.list". The backup tool is generic one,
applications tell it what to backup and how to restore data.

I have been campaining for sources.list backup/restore for quite some
time now. AFAIK the Application Manager in Sardine still does not ask
for sources.list to be backed-up and restored. But I might be wrong
(Marius?).
