Bug Description
In bug 1035207, the security team was asked for permission to install webapps scripts without prompting the user for their password. Since this has a high impact on security, permission was granted if the following restrictions were adhered to:
1- Installing without a password is limited to users in the "admin" group.
2- The repository whitelist for aptdaemon is shipped in a separate "webapps"-named package, and not part of the aptdaemon package.
3- Up-to-date documentation for the exact steps required for auditing the security of contributed webapp scripts. This needs to be written by someone familiar with the intricacies of how the scripts are integrated in the browser security model and how the webapps functionality was implemented.
4- An webapp script security scanning tool that can detect basic security flaws, and can be updated with new flaws as they are discovered.
5- A policy in place to systematically audit new webapp scripts and improvements to existing webapp scripts using the documentation and the scanning tool before they are accepted into the repository.
6- Tracking of a "sign-off" procedure to determine when the security auditing of contributed scripts was performed, by who, and with what revision of the auditing documentation and script.

This change needs to be reverted until the proper requirements are put in place.
