Signed packages?

First, Ubuntu looks like a fine system. I'm also glad to read that the focus
will be on catering to making things usable by novices. It's quite a
challenge, but it looks like Ubuntu is taking big steps in the right direction.
I was curious about signed packages. Are crytographically signed DEBs possible?
If so, does Ubuntu use signed packages? If not, is this something that is seen
as a good idea for the future or unnecessary?
Any rationale to help explain how they're unnecessary would be appreciated if
time allows.
Thanks.
