Is there a way to disable "installing from a third party" warning message?

[TomPridham]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and found none matching what I'm reporting.

Bug Description

I don't want to have to click "Install" again in the popup when I am installing a third party deb package. It's fine once or twice, but there should either be a "don't show again" checkbox in the dialog or a setting somewhere to turn it off. It wouldn't be that big of an issue except that I am installing a .deb package that I am building to test changes. So, I'm having to click "Install" a lot

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1: Install a third part deb package
2: Click "Install" in the popup
3: repeat

Expected behavior

There should either be a "Don't show again" checkbox at some point or a setting to turn it off forever

Adding this warning message was a deliberate choice (see #1681 and references therein for more context), so the current behavior is intentional - I'll mark it as a feature request. Generally the App Center is a user application for installing and managing published software packages and not a development tool. I'd suggest using dpkg or apt to install locally built packages for testing.

At the core, whether or not to add a checkbox to disable the warning message is a UX question - @anasereijo what do you think?
