The configuration key Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories controls if
apt allows loading of unsigned repositories at all.
The configuration Acquire::AllowDowngradeToInsecureRepositories
controls if a signed repository can ever become unsigned. This
should really never be needed but we provide it to avoid having
to mess around in /var/lib/apt/lists if there is a use-case for
this (which I can't think of right now).

With a bit of trickery we can reuse the usual infrastructure we have in
place to acquire deb files for the 'download' operation as well, which
gains us authentification check & display, error messages, correct
filenames and "downloads" from the root-owned archives.

--allow-unauthenticated switches the download to a pre-0.6 system in
which a package can come from any source, rather than that trusted
packages can only come from trusted sources.
To allow this the flag used to set all packages as untrusted, which is a
bit much, so we check now if the package can be acquired via an
untrusted source and only if this is the case set it as untrusted.
As APT nowadays supports setting sources as trusted via a flag in the
sources.list this mode shouldn't be used that much anymore though.
[Note that this is not the patch from the BTS]
