That's the point of packaging it... you review it at the time that you package it, and then you review it each time you update it in the future. Should always do a simple diff at minimum to see what changed. That's just part of being a responsible open source user.

- Arnavion 5y agoThe open source user they're referring to is the package creator, not the package installer. The package creator takes responsibility for the software they package. I sure hope they check the diff. I certainly do for the packages I maintain.
