Does you know the Debian policy about package maintainers? I don't think so. EVERY package is signed by a gpg key of its maintainer; EVERY package is analysed an have a bugtracksystem on-line in bugs.debian.org; EVERY package only gets the testing after some time in unstable, EVERY package is available by the Debian Quality Assurance [qa.debian.org], .. etc, etc. The GNU/Debian System is not only a GNU/Linux distro, it is even more than this. See by yourserlf the gpg key in the loop-aes-utils: bash$ apt-get source loop-aes-utils bash$ cat loop-aes-utils_2.12p-2.dsc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.0 Source: loop-aes-utils Version: 2.12p-2 Binary: loop-aes-utils Maintainer: Max Vozeler <max@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Architecture: any Standards-Version: 3.6.1 Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), dpatch (>= 2.0.0), libblkid-dev, uuid-dev Uploaders: Eduard Bloch <blade@xxxxxxxxxx> Files: d47e820f6880c21c8b4c0c7e8a7376cc 2001658 loop-aes-utils_2.12p.orig.tar.gz 46f37b9da0b504d2f88c7f6a8131ad7b 69098 loop-aes-utils_2.12p-2.diff.gz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB5W6g4QZIHu3wCMURAmRNAJ9L0ZUD3l877xhm46cnqmi1NzKxPgCcDJdq ovei6fl8+rVSUpKSAgbwi6o= =QDhd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- bash$ Best Regards, Rodrigo Ferreira Baroni -- "...but if is something that can help the world, the peoples, we must not retain to ourselves."
