this is easy to verify by reading the build logs that are published with
every binary package that gets built (in the archive as well as in PPAs)

(there are signature checks for the sources as well as checksums for the
resulting binaries that get logged at build time, you can verify each
bit if required)

And as mentioned in my other answer, you already picked to trust
Canonical and its infrastructure by choosing Ubuntu.
