Pretty much. I don't recall having an issue with this in the past including with Ubuntu 12.04 which is more or less a similar vintage to Debian Wheezy. When I search, many of the complaints are dated earlier this year. Now for whatever reason, if I want to *install* those packages. No problem. It'll ask whether I wish to install them even though no one can vouch (digitally) for them. However, it fails to ask the same question when I tell it to download the package or its sources. This behaviour is inconsistent, as well as painful.
