I was reading this [1] article and it brought a question do my mind: How
hard would it be for the FBI or the NSA or the CIA to have a couple of
agents infiltrated as package mantainers and seeding compromised packages
to the official repositories?

Could they submit an uncompromised source and keep a small patch that they
apply before building and sending it to the repository? Or is the building
process done on Debian servers?
