key verification for apt in experimental



hi guys,

first off, great job with integrating the keychecking into apt.  i just
installed the version out of experimental and it went absolutely
seamlessly. i've noticed error messages from my non-us sources, but
i'm guessing i just need to add another key with apt-key.

anyway, perhaps this is a feature request, perhaps it's something
that's already available... is there any way to know about the packages
that _are_ verified?  as it is right now, it warns me about all the
unsigned/unverified packages before i install them, but i was thinking
it might be nice from a user perspective to see a little message about
the verified packages too.  like:

sativa[/home/seanius]19:26:26# apt-get install package
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  package
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get xxxkB of archives.
After unpacking xxxkB of additional disk space will be used.
Successfully verified integrity of 1/1 packages
...


i know it's completely unneccesary, but it'd be quite comforting to the
average user to see that...  what do you think?

	sean
