Hey there Spencer! Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for not replying
earlier. I looked into this and did not (yet) find a concrete answer as
to why we don't consider the `trusted=yes` field.

I am hesitant to migrate these sources since the `trusted=yes` option
should ever only be used in a local or testing context -- not on an
ordinary system. We don't support third-party sources either (only
*allow*), and permitting *unsigned* third-party sources during the
upgrade feels even more sketchy.

Right now I don't see any clear use cases beyond the test context, and
I'd suggest the integration tests be changed to use signed repositories
instead. Consider the case where a third-party source gets compromised;
the attacker wouldn't even need to sign their changes. Of course the
system is still at risk *before* the upgrade, but we shouldn't encourage
it.

All the best,
Simon
