Yes! And there are some steps in the Ruby community to pull in a web-of-trust as well. It's just frustrating that it didn't happen from the get-go in language after language.

That said, I applaud the Debian folks for putting in the work early. Not just in the web-of-trust, but in many aspects of software security.
