    Can we say that the Debian package maintainers are reviewing their
    pull requests at *least* as rigorously as kernel maintainers? We had
    better hope so, because Debian package scripts get run as root

    By the way I wish there were as simple mechanisms to signal to all users (not just developers) whether a Debian package has maintainer scripts or not, and issuing a warning when the upgrade of a third-party package adds a new maintainer script. Maybe a different media type? File browser icon could be different, the output of `file` could tell it, and I am sure that even better solutions can be found.

    Have a nice day,
