regarding the drop privilege:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/apt/+bug/1522675

and there is also 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1651923
which is related to apt-helper based downloads ... and which
additionally points to:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1657567
which is sourceforge specific ...

quite a papertrail already :)
