Bug Description

Since apt-key is now deprecated, I followed various guides and moved all third-party repository keys to /etc/apt/keyrings/, then added the "signed-by" tag to the corresponding source lists. After that, those third-party repositories no longer show up in the "Other Software" tab in Software Updater.

Reassigning to correct package, and confirmed. So while [arch=amd64] works fine [signed-by=...] does not which is odd. Neither are *properly* supported in software-properties: sources.list options are not exposed at all; it's unclear what happens if you modify them.
