While it is correct, that there is an apt https package, last time I
checked, not much more than a month ago, no Debian or Ubuntu
repositories supported https nor are willing to do this in future. Did
this change?

Even if using https, there are known file sizes, so it wouldn't really
hide what has been downloaded?
