Public bug reported:

I was shocked to find out that a package in Ubuntu installs a
sources.list snippet to point to a third-party repo.  So far, I've
always had to specifically enable any such third-party repo (Skype,
etc.), so I was well aware of what was going on.  That there is a
package in universe allowed to sneak stuff in behind my back like that
without at the very least a BIG FAT WARNING is untenable.

I have read https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-
board/2014-April/001858.html and following BTW.  I understood that to
be about discussing the requirements to set up a separate, Ubuntu-
sanctioned distribution channel supposedly for IP-related reasons.  I'm
fine with that.  I'm absolutely not fine with a third-party repo being
enabled automatically behind my back.
