Somewhere along the line someone is producing and signing the binaries that find their way onto their computer, they could produce those binaries from different source code and I would be none the wiser.

Debian tries to be reproducible, so to avoid being caught they might need to control the mirror to so that they could send it to only me. I.e. if I'm lucky it would take a total of 2 people to put malicious binaries on my computer (1 with a signing key, 1 with access to the mirror I download things from).
