It probably wouldn't happen if the source snippet added at
installation time would be using “deb [trusted=yes]” instead of just
“deb”. Manually editing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-build.list seems
to confirm that.

See /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt-build.postinst:
   debline="deb file:$repository_dir apt-build main"
