Linux install - do not add "dropbox.list" to apt... (deb)

I did some research into this format, and while Debian using it by default is new, it will still work with every version of Debian and Ubuntu we support.

Yes, it is valid still and will be to year 2029 at least (as described in documentation you have research did on). After that, despite not fixed yet when, the format may be stopped at any one moment. By the way, many other companies (like Microsoft, Oracle, etc.) have already moved their packages format to the new one. It's still not something urgent, but like many other things Dropbox will wait till old format becomes officially deprecated and dropped. 🤷 (i.e. when it comes up as something urgent)
And not only Debian uses it and it's not something new - Ubuntu uses it for ~3 years already as well as all other derivative distributions (check on all standard Ubuntu repositories 🙂 - can you see some .list there?!; I hope you wont check some too old unsupported release).

I hope you (Dropbox) won't rely users use any external commands (external to Dropbox) for Dropbox bugs fix! (including the one you posted) Would be a good idea Dropbox to "modernize" its packages, so additional modernization wouldn't be needed.
