I think repo metadata is automatically verified by apt-get. One exception is our virtualbox source, which we seem to have explicitly marked as "trusted" (probably out of convenience). At some point we should set up verification for the virtualbox source - they have clear instructions on how to do that: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
As for individual package verification, I'm not entirely sure that's possible, because apparently many (or most) package files aren't signed. But if we end up creating an offline bundle, we could potentially sign and verify all packages we distribute. But that doesn't guarantee the packages we signed are good, if they weren't initially verified when we fetched them.
Anyway, I think the low hanging fruit here is to enable/set up source verification for virtualbox so we can remove [trusted=yes] from it.

I'll let the boss reply and process, but sounds like a great suggestion!

We can look at adding GPG verification for our releases.
About package verification, do you have any suggestions on how to do that with apt-get?

Yeah package verification is tricky, but after looking at some web pages debsign and SecureApt could be the way to go.
