HTTPS can help here (until signatures start to be widely accompanied by expiring timestamps or something).Debian is indeed moving in exactly that direction, using the Valid-Until attribute of the archive metadata. This currently isn't (yet?) enabled for the main stable archive, but is for the unstable and testing archives, the security archive, and the backports archive.
How do you handle the case when a given package build remains the recommended version in its branch beyond the signature's initial Valid-Until date? Do you issue a new signature for it? Alexander
