Title:
consider disabling apt-secure's Label check in Ubuntu
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
As of 1.5 (per apt-secure(8)) apt checks and warns if a repository's
Label value changes.
This probably makes sense for Debian, where folks may be tracking
stable instead of buster, and will want to be warned when stable
starts pointing somewhere else.
However, Ubuntu doesn't have such repository aliases and, furthermore,
for PPAs, the Label value is populated from the "display name" of the
PPA. This means that a PPA owner, fixing what they may assume is a
simple typo, will require their users to take action before they
receive further updates from the PPA, which is less than ideal.
Please consider disabling this check by default in Ubuntu, if only for
PPAs.
