Well, APTGETOPT is not used for dep resolving, but only for for `apt-get
install` operation outside the resolver, for the upgrade, and starting
from the next release also for `apt-get update`.

Anyway, your use case is covered in the --allow-untrusted CLI flag
(ALLOWUNTRUSTED=yes conf entry).

Otherwise have a look also at the PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSOPT, though
consider it's not passed directly to apt-get, but through the resolver,
which will interprer it on its own.

A possible (= haven't tested it) workaround might be to just export
APTGETOPT.


Please tell me if this is enough to solve your problem.
