I think apturl should make it easy to install from 3rd party
repositories. The ability to add apt sources is one of my favorite
features. apturl asks if you want to install the program, makes you
enter your password, does the install, and then asks if you want to keep
the repo or not. If you don't want to keep it around then it gets
removed.

That's a lot of hoops you have to jump through as it is. The piece that
appears to be missing to me is insight into any dependencies getting
installed along with the package that is desired. A check against a list
of key packages that no 3rd party repo should touch could be a good way
to limit abuse.
