Bug Description
The GUI is mainly intended for use by normal users. Using the proposed repository may cause problems and is therefore not recommended for the broad mayority of users. The normal user should not be able to activate this repository by just a single click.
We need a proper warning, explaining what -proposed is, requiring confirmation by the user.
For example:
"Proposed is intended for people willing to test updates before the reach a wider audience. Are you sure you want to activate -proposed?"

If you activate the proposed repository there should be a hint/message that installing proposed packages could be dangerous and damage your system!
I confirm that this message is absolutely nessesary!
