Not on "lack of security" but "posing a security" risk. As Scott
Kitterman mentions that it adds a bunch of"third-party untrusted repos".
This is a bad move to have a package in official repo which adds
untrusted repos.

It is not that Ubutnu devs don't want to improve Ubuntu, but there
needs a line to be drawn. Ubuntu Tweak exposes a few features which
should be *mostly* hidden from non-technical users. If something
goes wrong, then they wont be able to guess what actually happened.
