I saw earlier that it's just happened. It's still run manually. What
we've done for the other -signed packages to deal with the delay and
potentially inconsistent versioning is change the dependencies.
Instead of depending on *exactly* the same version as the signed
package (==), we switch to >= so that a delay in the new -signed
package being processed won't break installations.
