Thanks for your reply and the information.

Sorry for the late answer but I had a second thought about it recently
and have found several reasons why to update USBGuard anyway:

1) It is open source. If there are trust issues one can look at the
source code and check what has changed between versions.

2) Developers of other packages don't ever sign their commits so they
don't have a chain of trust at all. While a broken chain of trust might
be a step backwards, it is still equivalent to having none.

3) Other Linux distributions have updated the package as well. This
might seem like a weak reason but if I think about it, I find that it
resembles some kind of peer review.

Just wanted to share those thoughts so you might have a second look at it.


Kind regards
