[Bug 1945093] Re: apt update command output gives gapes in row numbering

InRelease

triggers the fallback to download the files Release & Release.gpg, but
as the Release file (5) is a Hit apt skips the attempt to acquire
Release.gpg (8) and continues on with the reverify step which doesn't
emit a message.

If we like really wanted to fix that we probably could special case this
situation and trick the progress reporting into showing a hit for
Release.gpg, too, but you are the first person to notice in … a lot of
years and the proper fix is for this repository to have an InRelease
file.

I would have set it to "wont-fix", but I am apparently not allowed to do
that on launchpad, so "opinion" it is, which feels wrong as I agree its
unfortunate, I just don't think it is worth it to invest precious
resources to fix it at this point. In an ideal world we would instead
drop the fallback which would also fix that issue… (but also break that
repository).
