    “must run as root” App.deb

    Yeah. That’s how you install ad-hoc packages where the author didn’t put them properly in a repo with signatures.

    But, as Debian has impaired validation anyway - it’s a package format thing - it’s not AS big a deal.

      It says ‘run as root’, not installed using root privileges. You’d also need root privilege to dd an image onto a drive either.
