"this product" ??

The article is talking about code signing. Last I heard, Ubuntu Desktop is not a code signing product. Also, last I heard, Linux distributions in general solve the code signing problem by having each distribution bake its own keys into the distro. This isn't a technique that scales well to several million ISVs, though obviously it works just fine if you can persuade everyone to share their source code so that it can be served up by the One True Repo of each particular distro.
