Looks like this patch was forgotten about -- at least, the function still doesn't seem to be present in the version of apt currently in unstable. I encourage merging it, because it really is annoying having to hit 3 extra keys every time one uses aptitude just because one has an unsigned local repository. On my machine, i ended up turning off authentication to avoid the hassle, which seems like a shame.

If there is another solution to this that I don't know about, perhaps this bug could be closed, and details of the other solution could be added to the Apt HOWTO and to the apt-secure manpage (and to either the apt.conf manpage or the sources.list manpage, depending on where the user is supposed to modify the configuration).

thx,
 bayle
