I believe that the discussion has later identified that doing so would
break squid-deb-proxy-client and auto-apt-proxy. Given that the security
benefits are not strong (beyond embracing good habits), I think the
reasonable thing to do is keep preferring http.

Caching packages and transport level encryption are fundamentally
incompatible. Possibly it would make more sense to offer users a choice
between performance and privacy on installation?
