Summary0003595: Could we make it a requirement to use apt-transport-https
Description

apt-transport-https allows downloading of packages over https from sources. I know this would require all mirrors to use https(and might not be currently feasible by all mirrors) but would make sense to have things going over https to begin with for updating Kali packages.

Steps To Reproduce

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

all downloads are over http

Additional Information

This is merely a request and hopefully raises some eyebrows as I just realized we download all updates over http
