Since I moved my actual development to faster machines I now always
need to copy the tarballs to the box where I can sign them and this is
not very convenient.  Obviously, I thought about such a solution too.

There are some minor problems because we don't just sign a hash but
need to add some more data.  Creating an incomplete hash on the remote
machine is not the cleanest solution, so I have to come up with a
better way.
