1password dpkg package should stop creating 1password.list
When installing the 1password .deb file, the post-install script automatically creates a file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/1password.list. This is irritating and is bad behaviour. Point one: the user ...
Yes, they need to stop forcing the creation of this file through Linux anti-patterns. Let users opt into it. Or maybe create a separate package for the GPG key and an apt sources file. Or not recreate it on every package install, just the first install and not upgrades.
They also need to consolidate their repositories so that they're multi-arch and multi-distribution with a single URL. Ridiculous that I need to have logic to put https://downloads.1password.com/linux/debian/amd64 on some systems and https://downloads.1password.com/linux/debian/arm64 on others when apt repositories have supported multi-arch forever.
Also, it would be helpful if they just provided the GPG key in the correct format in the first place instead of needing to run --dearmor on it. Even better, they can provide both .asc and .gpg formats side by side so that you can download whichever format is relevant for your use case.
