Origin/Label for Debian repositories

[TobiX]

Please provide a brief summary of the bug

Tools like apt (https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/apt/apt_preferences.5.en.html) or unattended-upgrades (https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/blob/master/data/50unattended-upgrades.Debian) rely on repository metadata for packages selection. Unfortunately, the default values for all repositories hosted on Artifactory is just "Artifactory".

According to https://jfrog.atlassian.net/browse/RTFACT-9208 it is possible to override those values. It would be nice if the value for https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb/ would be changed to something like "Adoptium".

Be aware that modern versions of apt warn the user every time this value is changed:

E: Repository 'https://artifactory.company.example/artifactory/local-deb-repo any InRelease' changed its 'Origin' value from 'Artifactory' to 'NewValue'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N]

(This might prevent automatic updates until the user has manually accepted this change)

Did you test with the latest update version?

• Yes

Please provide steps to reproduce where possible

See the output of apt policy. This is especially problematic if you are using an company-internal mirror, since you cannot distinguish repositories by hostname anymore... Example output:

# apt policy
Package files:
[...]
 500 https://artifactory.company.example/artifactory/deb-adoptium bookworm/main amd64 Packages
     release o=Artifactory,a=bookworm,n=bookworm,l=Artifactory,c=main,b=amd64
     origin artifactory.company.example

Expected Results

apt-policy shows something other then o=Artifactory,l=Artifactory for the Adoptium repository.

Actual Results

apt-policy shows o=Artifactory,l=Artifactory for the Adoptium repository.
