I figured it out:

"If a signature file in the form of .sig is part of the PKGBUILD
source array, makepkg validates the authenticity of source files. For
example, the signature pkgname-pkgver.tar.gz.sig is used to check the
integrity of the file pkgname-pkgver.tar.gz with the gpg program."

However, I'm still not sure how and when the client gets the public
key, and the pkcs-2.20.tar.gz file is not covered by the .sig. So I
think it's still relying on the MD5s.
