Ah, thank you.  I didn't realize that we kept them at all.

Note, though, that if the concern is a cryptographically strong audit
trail, we could still retain a link from the original *.changes file to
the final package with a second (possibly signed) document archived with
the *.changes file listing the original and final checksums of the
now-signed packages.
