I like this, from a purely security-informed point of view. Maybe there
would be a way to integrate this with the Continuous Testing we do? Like,
letting Travis verify that the binaries built from a certain Debian
package are really identical to the binaries built from the corresponding
commit? But I guess Travis is the wrong vehicle for this, as Travis needs
a *commit* to be pushed, not a new package to be made available via apt...

Ciao,
Dscho
