Aha. So it only requires sigs if the release exists, that's an
interesting loophole (wonder if it works for http). Ok, well your patch
looked ok otherwise, except I see one problem, since the Packages file
is only removed in the clean target, which is not always run between
builds, it will not always be up-to-date. In my apt-ftparchive patch I
instead recreated the Packages file each time get-packages was run.
