Third Party Apt

Installing a third party Apt repository is too hard. ThirdPartyApt defines a file format that ISVs can publish on their web sites and distribute to users to download their software, optionally enabling automatic updates.
This spec makes it easy for users to install third party software and have it update automatically. By doing this in a consistent and standard way, we both discourage the use of difficult custom install methods and encourage better security than is currently practiced.
