Since freenet is open source, I would imagine that there are people who independently 
verify the validity of all 
builds by looking at the source and the diffs. I think that this is probably the only 
way to guarantee the 
validity of a build, and even with that it might not be 100%.

I think that gpg signing the builds would give us probably 90% confidence that the 
builds are good. The other 10% 
would be from these people looking at the source and reporting (like to slashdot) if 
there is a compromised build 
(where they see what appears to be malignant code and nobody "official" can 
sufficiently justify its presence).

This is what most other security-related projects do (e.x. gpg, iip, etc.) AFAIK.
