Probably not helpful, but:

Just don't use TLS for apt repos?

What's the threat model that you're trying to address by using
apt-transport-https ?

apt's "is this package haxxed?" relies entirely on the Release file
being signed by a GPG key in apt-key's keyring (plus a chain of
md5/sha1/sha2-sums). So AFAICT the only gain from TLS is the ability to
conceal (from your ISP) which packages you've downloaded.
What am I missing?
