If we had virt-builder metadata, virt-builder will check the SHA256
[by default] hash of the downloaded cloud image.  The hash is
contained in the GPG signed metadata.  To do this, virt-builder ships
with (or would ship with, if we had virt-builder metadata) the Fedora
GPG pubkey.  Currently SUSE are doing exactly this for their cloud
images.
