Both.

Synaptic doesn't see anything in the sources.list.d directory since it's
doing all the reading and parsing of sources.list by itself. I have
beginnings of a patch to add support for it, it's easy to make it read the
sources.list.d stuff (basically just copy the relevant code from apt-rpm),
editing them sanely is another issue: without proper support for it in the 
editor the changes will be written to sources.list instead of the 
originating sources.list.d entry. I started work on it as well but 
didn't quite finish it (C++ is anything but "native tongue"  for me :).
