       Does this mean the user ``contributes'' packages to the system?

    I don't like this, consider the following scenario: user A install a
    package foo-1.1 that contains a trojan.  User B tries to run this
    program unknowingly; and thus gets infected by the trojan (consider
    the harm this would do if user B is root).

I think this is a misunderstanding.  Whatever packages user A
specifies will only affect user A.
