Bug#813311: humble repositories shoud be humble



Package: apt
Severity: wishlist

<preamble>
This wishlist bugreport was opened with title
  humble repositories shoud be humble

Other titles considered where:
 * restrict some repositories
 * consider non debian repositories trojan horses
</preamble>

Dear Maintainer,

Want I wish is an apt sources.list line like
 deb http://nicelookingproject.com/debian version main pl:foo
will only install package foo from the nice looking project repository

It is to make it possible that nice looking project can say:
  We will only provide package foo and nothing else.

The 'pl:' is short for "'package list' and 'a special character'"

  pl:foo,bar

is for indicating that the package list is 'foo' and 'bar'.


The idea behind the request/wish is to give users of our system
more control on how far they open a backdoor ...


Groeten
