Well, that's not enough.
I haven't tried, by I'd say having https lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
requires apt-transport-https.
I don't want to install apt-transport-https by default on chroots, so if you
really want https being automatically detected and used then you also want to
add some conditional things that install apt-transport-https if needed.


Then I've never understood why apt-transport-https is on a different package
not in the main apt binary, but that's another story.
