Yes, as long as you have imported the repositories GPG key with
apt-key.

I forgot this point in my original post. The etch and later apt-get
will _always_ prompt you if you are installing a package which is not
"verified". Verification means:
 the package is listed in a package list containing package checksums
 and that package list is signed with a key known to apt-key.

Regards,

Kapil.
