Verification of Package Files When Using Sources.List.

  Hello!

My /etc/apt/sources.list contains:

deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org karmic main

In the "authentication" section of my "software sources" I have a 
deb.torproject.org archive signing key dated 2009-09-04 with a value 886DDD89.

I was looking at the page which explains how to verify signatures for 
downloads: https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en

If one is not directly downloading but using the sources.list file is the 
"authentication" section adequate to verify the validity of the downloads?

Thanks
