Thanks for the response. Another (security non-expert) question:
How does Debian repository security compare to the current security of the
Gnome extension website/system? Specifically-- if a hacker gains entry into
a server that hosts a Debian repository and tries to change the data for
package foo, won't apt-get/synaptic/etc. complain and by default fail to
install the package because either the signature is invalid or the file
checksum
doesn't check out?
I apologize for asking a Debian question on the Gnome list, but I'm having
trouble
getting a response on #debian (I guess it looks like I'm fishing for security
holes or
something).
