If they are isgned by our devs who are on your keyring .. then you
should be able to trust. Esp if it's got 2 or more valid sigs.=20

Over any  distrib medium a package that had this requirement would be
considered pristine. You would be able to check those sigs agains
keyservers as well as your local copy of the pubkeys.you could trust
that package if all those check were ok.=20

If random joe-schmo  builds a binary and pops it on p2portage signed. It
doesnt give it any more credability in the eyes of porteous. ( not part
of or keysystem ).=20
