After modifying /etc/apt/sources.list as explained on http://snapshot.debian.org/ and doing apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update I get among various messages: N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. which is completely unacceptable.
Control: forcemerge 763419 -1 snapshot.d.o provides read-only snapshots of the archive, it does not modify any files. If you would like to help fix this issue, please see the proposal in #763419 for creating a dynamic overlay to modify and re-sign the existing files.
I did write a prototype once, but haven't touched it for some time. For example: https://defi.43-1.org/debian-defi-archive/debian/dists/stretch-backports/InRelease (It should also work for other things.) The test key is available from https://defi.43-1.org/defibrillator-test-key.asc Ansgar
