I do not have deep enough knowledge in packaging to have a setup. But something along the lines of:
A package is uploaded
An automatic test is done with some anti-malware program
If anything suspicious if found the update is set on hold until some "admin" checks the potential malware.
There are some anti virus programs for Linux
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Anti-virus_applications">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Anti-virus_applications</A>
And some of them (at least on windows) can find malware in code that is not yet know as malware. I do not know if any of it would have detected the Unreal malware.
