This may have been the case with apt-secure, but this functionality is now merged into apt 0.6 (currently in experimental) in a different way which does not prevent downloads of unauthenticated packages altogether. Instead, it requires confirmation.
Matt, I'm sure I'm not the only woody-user who has used the unofficial apt-secure version. I am trying to build the experimental (0.6.18) version of the new apt on Woody as I write this, but there was more unsatisfied dependencies than I am really comfortable with.
Have you attempted to build on Woody, and if so, what was the outcome? Is there any chance of getting a quick step-by-step build guide? Or is there simply too much code that depends on newer library version for this to be feasible?
Running dpkg-buildpackage with the "-d" option does not really make me confident that I can replace the current apt with the new one... :)
