Why do you need a separate header/field/whatever ?

You *already* have this field - that's the GPG signature.

Assign weights to signing keys and you're done (this solves rpm/yum,
manual rebuilds, p.r.c. repos, it's so natural that's not even funny
considering we're been ignoring it so long)

You'll note Fedora *already* recognizes keys are a discriminant -
different keys are used for different repos (Core, Security, etc)

(Of course that would require Fedora to implement the long-awaited
rawhide signing. Virtuous circle - you do something for one reason, and
it has good side effects on other problems)
