There's a few cavets that have been mentioned in this thread that would 
make this functionality mostly pointless to try and implement.

1) Not all packages include gpg signatures.
   a) not everyone knows they can include them
   b) SCM checkouts don't have signatures
   c) some projects don't use them
2) We don't have a system to validate a gpg signature in place. My 
understanding of GPG is that we would need to house all the public keys 
to validate against. Nothing like this exists. I'm lazy and don't feel 
like creating such a system. :)

We're stuck with the lookaside cache checksum for now.
