Stanza
The term "stanza-based" refers to its structure for organizing and configuring package sources in Debian-based systems. A stanza in this context is a group of related configuration lines separated by blank lines
In the DEB822 format, each source is defined within a single stanza, which contains multiple fields that describe various aspects of the source. These fields include Types, URIs, Suites, and Components, among others. Each field is explicitly named and followed by a colon, making the configuration more readable and machine-parsable
For example, a typical DEB822 stanza might look like this:
Types: deb deb-src URIs: http://example.com/debian Suites: stable Components: main contrib non-free
