Hopefully those days will be over soon: apt 0.8.16 (in experimental) has
an option to disable signature checking for specific sources.list
entries.  This way you can have an (unsigned) local repository, but
signatures for any repository accessed via network will still be
checked.  See #596498 for more details.

You still need an option to disable signature checking when working with
older versions of apt, but it should be enabled by default.
