Why? If you're worried about the data being tampered with, the metadata is
protected by PGP signatures which are verified by apt, and the metadata
contains hashes of the package data which are also verified, so it's safe
out of the box.

apt-transport-https allows clients to place https:// URLs in sources.list,
but again I am unsure why this is necessary.
