So everyone how wants to build libvirt from source and cares about data
integrity has to unpack/verify the rpm?
Come on... :-)

cryptographic arrangements should be applied.

I know other projects are sloppy regarding signed releases too, this does
not mean that libvirt should follow their bad example.
