Ok.

But what kind of magic signature do you want to know that the code you're running matches the source, if the software is closed source and you have no access to the source?

Your requirement makes no sense. Are you a product manager? :D

gpg can be used to sign a single file, if for any reason you download a single .deb instead of using a repository.

If your supplier doesn't sign them… take it with them?
