Yeah, because I definitely double check the provenance of the 30 dependencies that blow past my terminal when I apt install something, that I also very much looked into and aren’t blindly typing commands from Stack Overflow into my terminal because I’m trying to solve some problem.

why would you? that's the package maintainers job. each of these dependency also has a maintainer, so by definition all dependencies have a provenance that is as good as the package you are installing.

this is not npm where anyone can upload something and you have to check the provenance of each yourself
