This is basically what I have;[1] I wrote this up because I'm trying
to think of a good way to combine 3 and 4, ideally as another option
to #2, since I think that's what they're getting at... but for now:
1. DFSG #2 does not apply to firmware and data

rigorously checked the signatures to verify that they are actually
signed by keys in the keyring.
