brother-9320cw-cups-bin
The source is a prebuilt i386 Debian binary package (.deb) downloaded directly from download.brother.com, which is Brother's official vendor download server — the same host used by all Brother printer driver AUR packages. This is a well-established pattern in the AUR for proprietary printer drivers. The MD5 checksum is present (though weak, it provides some integrity check). The PKGBUILD is sloppy (missing bsdtar/ar extraction step to unpack the .deb before extracting data.tar.gz, so it's likely broken as written), but the source origin is legitimate. The cheaper model's concern about 'non-whitelisted host' is a false positive — download.brother.com is the canonical official Brother download infrastructure used across dozens of AUR printer driver packages. No obfuscation, no unofficial personal host, no piracy concern. The main issues are: (1) weak MD5 checksum instead of SHA256, (2) the package() function is missing the `ar x` step to unpack the .deb first, making this likely non-functional. Rating: low (sloppy packaging, not a security concern), with broken flag due to missing ar extraction step.
