You add an additional ar member that contains the signed checksums of all
of the files in data.tar.gz, possibly another additional member that
contains the signed checksums for control.tar.gz, or you document some
convention so that you can combine both into the same signed checksum
document.
There are other implementation methods possible, but that's probably the
most obvious one.
