Furthermore, he is asking the wrong question if he wants real security.
If one downloads via an insecure protocol (http, ftp) then it does not
matter if the URL points to debian.org, kmuto.jp or rootkits-r-us.com,
because one is unprotected against a man-in-the-middle attack in any
case. Thinking that searching for a reference to the kmuto installer on
debian.org has anything to do with security is a dangerous illusion.
The question that should be asked is: "How can I verify the checksums of
the kmuto images with cryptographic signatures that can be traced back
to a trusted key from the debian keyring?" (Unfortunately I do not know
the answer; I cannot find any signature whatsoever for the checksums.)
