Comment (by weasel):

 For the debs, it will mean that apt-get update will fail in strange ways
 unless users have apt-transport-https installed.  And apt may fail in
 other strange ways even if they do but their /etc/ssl/ doesn't believe in
 our certs.

 I suspect if we really wanted to, it'd be fine to mention that, by-the-by,
 the repo is also available as https, but I fear it'll increase the support
 cost (and amount of users who fail and then just go away).

 So, for debs, weak reject.
