IIRC, no. I can see how this might be a benefit, though. For private
repositories, the encryption and client certificate authentication would
go a long way in securing and ensuring privacy.
A work around until then: run sslwrap on the client machine through
inetd and point it to the SSL-protected httpd repository. Your
sources.list lines may look something like this then:
deb http://localhost:4433/repository dist category
In theory, this should work.
