Aim: change source (origin) of all installed packages, override origin of installable packages to com.nokia.maemo
Targets: dpkg, package-manager, package-manager-ui
Advantages:
- no need to use inception/aegis-install
- all installations will receive any credentials it request
- you can install/upgrade any package requires set of high credentials using regular methods like clicking on deb file in filemanager, using dpkg -i in terminal, using pkgmgr and etc.
Disadvantages:
- possible security breach by overriding origin. any untrusted package can get high privileges
- you need to double-check packages before installations
- get packages only from trusted sites (like TMO and OpenRepos)

Simple cli tool and gui can show requested credentials before installation proceed.

Vote please and discuss.
