It's not only about InRelease files -- APT effectively changed the "directory format" in the incompatibly way and nobody can predict when that can happen again. lists/ directory format is completely undocumented, and APT quite naturally keeps is as internal. Nice side effects: - Cupt repository metadata cleaner cannot/doesn't delete unknown APT files; - The option 'cupt::update::keep-bad-signatures', which is incompatible with APT file structure, can be enabled by default. - Cupt can check Release file signatures on every run (for, for example, expiration or revocation), not only at a metadata update run. -- Eugene V.
