make apt-get stop bothering me about signatures

I want my Ubuntu system to download and install all updates from a set
of Ubuntu & Debian servers.  I installed cron-apt and revised /et as
follows:



autoclean -y
#dist-upgrade -d -y -o APT::Get::Show-Upgraded=true
dist-upgrade -y



There are 2 sites where I get deb packages but they authors do not
sign them.  I want apt-get to stop bugging me about the lack of
signatures.  I want the system to update itself over night, but it
never does because of this problem.  The cron-apt job is set like so:



In Fedora, the yum configuration for each site has an option pgpcheck
to turn on or off.  I can't find anything like that in apt.
