Does any package replace the file /etc/apt/sources.list?

No.

By default /etc/apt/sources.list is a symlink to /etc/apt/sources.list.grml but if you modify the file on your own (removing the symlink therefore) it won't be touched anymore.

Oh, I was just working on /etc/apt/sources.list, and I didn't know it is symlinked.

Just for the archive, the file /etc/apt/sources.list.grml did get updated, and so is my modification. Luckily, I have backups.

Lesson learned: remove the symlink before editing /etc/apt/sources.list.

thanks
