A question of distribution maintenance strategies. The more standard way would indeed be populating /etc/apt/sources.list at install or build time and leaving /etc/apt/sources.list.d alone. The idea of managing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for the user is, the security-focused distribution maintainers can decide when it is a better "change stable to oldstable", "keep wheezy as long as needed to work out [eventual!] issues that would break during upgrade to jessie" and such.

1. Download the APT Signing Key.

wget https://www.kicksecure.com/keys/derivative.asc

2. Add the APT Signing Key.

sudo cp ~/derivative.asc /usr/share/keyrings/derivative.asc

3. Add the derivative repository.

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/derivative.asc] https://deb.kicksecure.com bookworm main contrib non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/derivative.list

4. Update your package lists.

sudo apt-get update
