Don't put random things in control files.  That may have bad
consequences.

Not the conventional place to put this.

For safe administration, follow conventions.

I don't remember what you are looking for.  But don't do this.

try:

Find out what repo you want.  They will most likely supply a suitable
new file for putting in this directory.

But don't lightly add repos.  They don't all get along (there are 
conflicts that are problematic).  Livna is usually safe and reasonable 
(not all of its content is legal in US; not sure about Canada).
