I am trying to install webmin using the .deb package provided from the the webmin debian repository. The problem is that apt-get or aptitude says to me that the webmin package is not certified and asks me to confirm that I want to install this package.
On this installation I need that all packages are certified (because of automatic installation made using preseeding system). That's why I would want to know if there is a way to certify the webmin packages or a procedure to do it by myself ?
Thank you for your answers

You don't mean a signed package, but a signed repository. - You can set this up yourself (see the apt repository howto on debian.org). Or install the webmin package by hand via dpkg.
I agree however, that it is "not so intelligent" to set up a convenient official apt-repository and not sign it - this somehow contradicts the whole apt-repository philosophy. And putting verifying the md5-sums by hand if you want (and should want!) the security is a pain in the a.. .

Exactly, I was discovering the whole thing about Debian repositories. Then, after creating a signed Debian repository, the webmin package could be so easily integrated.
