That's one of the reasons why I'm reluctant to upgrade the distro/dependencies for the deterministic build process, and generally prefer to use older dependencies rather than the "latest and greatest" of everything. But there's a tradeoff between "risk that an Evil Maintainer slipped something in" and "risk that we ship with an upatched bug" @p{--} e.g. we tend to be on the latest version of OpenSSL, but a few releases behind of Qt4. @p{par} PS: if you really want to be completely paranoid, you should only run bitcoin on old hardware/OS manufactured before 2009 so you can be sure the hardware/firmware/OS doesn't have any wallet-stealing circuits/code lurking.... @p{brk}
