I said unlikely, because it's working for linux repositorys, too.
So why should there be someone intentionally code malware for maemo, a platform which is relatively small?
Then you could argument the same for the appstore. Apple is only checking if the program doesn't violate rules for their software.
Or the Android market. Same thing.
