Some random thoughts. We could add the signature into the tarball using
something like the --use-compress-program option (see
https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_8.html and the
gpg references). That would mean we have one less separate file to worry
about.
Not sure which approach I prefer, just putting the idea out there...

We do something similar for siginfo already FWIW.

I'd also probably make these callable functions, then others can
override them and use them as hooks if they want to.
Cheers,
Richard
