I don't know how the apt sources are maintained, but lets assume that
the apt maintainer has a malicious streak and plants some rootkits or
other backdoors in a piece of software.  Since Novell/SUSE is not
maintaining the apt repository, I don't know if there is a way to
detect that?

If the md5 values for the rpms were retrieved from Novell/SUSE, then
one could use that to verify the apt rpms, but I don't know if apt
does that.  I would guess no.
