There's been a recent change in that the sources are now signed so that
you can verify that they are true debian sources.
Short answer: ignore the warning and install anyway.
Long answer, install gnupg and acquire the public key for the source
which will make the warning go away and ensure that you are installing
from verifiable sources.
