I think there are wishlist bugs about this (version check) already. Not about this plugin-like function though. > I guess one way of doing this would be to have uploads go into a > directory that debarchiver doesn't watch, and have the administrator > move the upload across if they are satisfied.

If you look in the code there are two functions you could add the hooks too: * handleDebOnlyFile Handle the case when installing a single .deb file (like a kernel) * handleChangesFile Handle the case when installing a .changes file and all the files it point to. You could add the hooks to these two functions in order to make what you want. But I assume you just want to add this kind of checking to the case when .changes files are used for sorting and that is easier. There is a function called verifyChangesFile that is used for this kind of verification. Currently I think it is only used for signature verfication. So I really suggest adding these hooks to verifyChangesFile (and then as an addition to handleDebOnlyFile). These functions have been changed quite recently so I suggest that you use the source from sid or my SVN repository (https://svn.opal.dhs.org/fsp/trunk/debarchiver) when starting to adding hooks.
