On running sudo apt update I've just been issued the following warnings:

Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N]

I can't find any notice of these changes - and frankly don't know where to look - but as that inrelease file contains the checksum for the packages I'd be installing I'm loathe to blindly accept it, as that file being changed breaks the chain of trust for the underlying packages.

Does anyone have an official source referring these changes, or an idea of where I can get an official comment on whether these changes are safe to accept?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
