The essential solution to this problem is redundancy and testing:
(1) We need robust testing of the resulting packages. We're working
on this, but have a ways to go.
(2) We need a way of confirming that binaries are built properly.
As far as I know, no one is tackling this.
Any solution is going to have vulnerabilities. A distributed solution
is going to scale better than a centralized solution.
