Do you realize, when you ask if there is a difference between signing a
PKGBUILD vs. a built package, it sounds an awful lot like asking if
there is a difference between a PKGBUILD and a built package?

Well, of course there is a difference. They are two different things...

Off the top of my head, there is *the topic of this thread*. Someone
could modify the checksums and deliver fake sources. When the PKGBUILD
just says "run `make`", how do you tell the difference?
