is a tri-state value which defaults to APT deciding if a source
is considered trusted or if warnings should be raised before e.g.
packages are installed from this source. This option can be used
- to override this decision either with the value <literal>yes</literal>,
- which lets APT consider this source always as a trusted source,
- even if it lacks or fails authentication checks, by disabling parts
- of &apt-secure;. It should therefore only be used in a local and trusted
- context (if at all) as otherwise security is breached. The opposite
- can be achieved with the value <literal>no</literal>, which
- causes the source to be handled as untrusted even if the
- authentication checks passed successfully.
- The default value can't be set explicitly.
