Bug#77055: wish: https support for apt

[Jeff Waugh <jdub@aphid.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist

This may be a sticky one, given issues regarding redistribution, etc.

https support for apt would be incredibly useful when upgrading sensitive
packages from custom archive, such as configuration packages for remote
servers. Currently, there is no secure way of updating!

This would be "Way Cool". :)
