Actually, how about the packager can provide a link to the original md5
checksum and if the source code used to build that package passes the
md5 checksum there is some confidence LED showing up next to the
1-Click-Install button of that package.

Now that leaves the problem with applied patches and I don't know how
extensive they are getting. But how about having the possibility to view
the applied patches.

It would also be good to have the packager add a comment about why this
patch is applied and where it comes from. That comment could also be
shown to the end user.

Those measures would allow a user of a packager to trace back what got
changed from the original source code.

Cheers,

Guenter
