IIRC, no.  I can see how this might be a benefit, though.  For private
repositories, the encryption and client certificate authentication would
go a long way in securing and ensuring privacy.

A work around until then: run sslwrap on the client machine through
inetd and point it to the SSL-protected httpd repository.  Your
sources.list lines may look something like this then:

    deb http://localhost:4433/repository dist category

In theory, this should work.
