No
So, if you have 1480 packages, is it fine for you having 1480 repositories ?
With this mechanism, apt would lost its super cow powers !

I can find many many advantages trusting debian repositories, so I can search, install and update in a trusted world. No need searching repositories for each app that I would like to have.

Having an unique repository for packages that you absolutely have to
have the latest at the moment upstream makes it available is an
advantage.  Especially if you disagree with the choices or patches that
the maintainer added to package.
I agree with you here
