I see 3 behaviors for it:
- Mention at package-installation time that there's no signature to check,
maybe with a prompt to confirm the user really wants to go ahead.
This is more or less the route taken by APT, AFAIK (at least, seen
from the user's point of view).
- Keep track of which archives have signatures and which don't (e.g. by
assuming that if `archive-contents' has a sig, then the packages also
have sigs). Then somehow display this info in the package list.
- Check each and every package to see if it has a sig. This implies
a lot more network communication, AFAICT, so I think it's not
a good idea.
The first behavior OTOH should be very easy to implement.
