Since the below mentioned analysis of Debian's security, and that too
compared to other distros, is not very well-known outside of Debian
project(it didn't come up in any internet searches, the web of trust

So the answer is that we have no way of preventing a developer from
intentionally sabotaging a package in any / as many ways as they choose and
the only risk to them is losing their uploader access after the fact?

Do you have a publication of that analysis? I was thinking the same

You are of course welcome to download Debian and use it under the
conditions of the licenses for the various components of Debian.
License compliance is a complex field and for any mass-produced
commercial product you're going to need to retain the services of a
