I'm unsure who wants CCs.  Taking best guess...

"automatically" should apply to "generated" not "be" or "will".
Also, this sounds like configuring apt to call debsums - isn't it?
"but" seems clearer than "though" and it's not used already.
"relied on" or "relied upon"?

Possible mod:-

  _Description: Should debsums files be generated automatically by apt-get?
   Not all packages contain debsums information. However, apt can be
   configured to generate debsums files for installed packages
   automatically. This may be useful for checking system integrity
   later, but it should not be relied upon as a security measure.

Maybe change "Run" to "Install" - execution depends on there being a
cron running, doesn't it?

Other than that, this one looks fine to me.

Hope that helps,
