Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

thanks for maintaing aptitude!

There is a trivial attack on aptitude: press "y" on the "do you really want to
install  those unauthenticated packages?" question and there is no way to
prevent people from doing so (by means of configuration), like a strict mode.

Please implement something along these lines, I've heard this is a
blocker for wider Debian adoption by some people/projects/organisations.

I've filed the same bug against apt, it's #833785: "apt: please add 
configuration
option to never allow installation of unauthenticated packages", maybe
apt and aptitude could share that configuration bit too?

cheers,
        Holger
