Aren't all of Ubuntu's packages built on launchpad? It's interesting that you don't trust launchpad, should I not trust my OS either? And as far as checking signatures, that's what apt does automatically anyway, as I understand.
I know people like Moxie insist that it's only acceptable to have the (at least) software's author sign the software. Well, personally I'd rather trust a larger organization with more reputation to lose. (Ideally I'd have both, of course, when we get to deterministic builds.)
edit: Oh, deterministic builds is what gitian is. Okay I see your point :-) But still, why trust your OS at that point?
