Great question! I spent a while looking into whether it was feasible to apply different LSM profiles (SELinux/Apparmor/whatever) to dpkg depending on where the package was downloaded from, and unfortunately the architecture doesn't make that terribly possible. From the web perspective, I think that probably comes down to extension-level handling at the moment? In an ideal universe we'd have infrastructure to tie any given piece of javascript back to an upstream repo and make a trust decision based on things like licensing and review assurances, but that feels like kind of a lot of work.
