CESG serves GCHQ and one thing they'd be expected to do, IF they do their job, is to back-door things, especially those that are not trivial to access via a third part such as MitM/"host". The reality of these things is deeply sad (but real).

Does the user need to actually install it? Does the user need to say "YES!! Install this!!"? If so, does that represent a Linux problem or user problem?
