[Bug 1861730] [NEW] [Package verification] Signatures or hashsums

 

Public bug reported:

Is there any way we can verify Debian packages consistency using
original maintainers signatures? I can't find any particular reason why
we should blindly trust packagecloud, as they are a third-party service
with their own GPG signatures that could be changed any time.

Alternatively to signatures, I would kindly ask you to at least publish
SHA hashsums of .deb (and other) files on the github releases page upon
each release, so we can compare them against the packages we download
from packagecloud.io
