Never considered it in the past as I always did the builds. I think it is a valid 
problem though. Is there any way we can sign the source code such that when it's 
compiled we can verify that it was unmodified source?

What did you have in mind, a pgp sig for each file? I don't see that as a problem for 
each packager to create.
