Yes. Definitely for all releases going forward, if we're not doing
so already; we might even consider signing old releases, since a
signature made after the fact is still better than no signature at

My issue is that while "github", "cpan" and friends are completely
unambiguous in the context of the page, "libvirt" is far from it.

But as I said I don't have a better solution to offer, so "libvirt"
will have to do, at least for now :)
