Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
Hi guys.
Since apt supports password protected repositories it would be wise to set permissions to 600 for /etc/apt/

Thank you for using Ubuntu and taking the time to report a bug. Since these files do not contain passwords by default, it is up to an administrator to set the permissions if keeping plaintext passwords in sources.list. Setting to 600 would likely break tools that need to read this file, such as update-manager. Marking Wishlist for now, but the maintainer may decide to "Won't Fix".
