Flip side: you have gone through the *entire source tree* that you've
downloaded *file by file* and *can personally confirm* that there are
no "additional modifications or back-doors". Oh, yeah, baby.

Leaving aside the question of where you get the "master" source to
compare to, and how you confirm that *it* hasn't been tampered with...

But I'd love to know how many packages your co-worker is willing to
personally vouch for. :-)

heh.
