Well, yes. Although certain things should be predictable.

As for trusting downloads from the net...well...once has to draw a line
somewhere between practicality and paranoia. I "trust" Canonical, so I
trust signed stuff from their repo. I also "trust" certain PPAs after a
bit of digging around (e.g. Mozilla). All-in-all, I trust how the F/OSS
world does things way, way more than I trust download some random .exe
from some random page.
