Research direction
Start by locating the APT installer and its existing creation of heroku.list; the issue does not name a file or test, so search the CLI repository for that filename. Check how the installer writes APT sources and what tests cover it. Done when the Ubuntu installer creates heroku.sources in deb822 format instead of heroku.list, with relevant tests passing.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Ubuntu has migrated the apt config to the dev822 format by default. It would be great if the installer could create a heroku.sources file in deb822 format instead of the heroku.list file.
