Comment (by irl):

 If users were to add the new deb.ooni.io repository, these packages would
 have a higher version number. We would ensure that those packages can
 allow safe upgrade from the packages that were on deb.torproject.org.

 I feel that automatically changing user's APT sources is a little too
 sneaky. Automatically adding new GPG keys to secure APT that effectively
 give another group root access to the machine could well be considered a
 breach of trust by some users.

 https://wiki.debian.org/piuparts is designed to test package upgrades
 don't break user's machines.
