Ah, I guess you did:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:reduzierer/rdz-pd-extra+deps

which also here added a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and also here,
it didn't work. It only worked after putting the the appropriate line to
the main /etc/apt/sources.list. Now that you're saying that it works for
other PPAs, it really smells like some '+' issue. Don't know why I have
put the '+' into the PPA's name in the first place. I think it's rather
not related to your system being amd64. Anyway, thanks for reporting.
