Third party package repositories are a thing, like Ubuntu PPAs, aptly,
JFrog Debian Repositories, etc. Unfortunately, due to Debian Apt's
design, that means giving root access to each repository (package pre-install/remove/etc scripts are run as root).

I don't think it is related to APT, but rather it is a risk that is very
common to packages like deb, rpm or similar that can run arbitrary code
as root.
