+*** PGP Signatures
+
+RPM now supports optional PGP signatures embedded in RPM packages.
+Only 1024 bit keys are supported, and the signature "covers" the
+header and archive sections of the package.  The "lead", which 
+makes up the first 96 bytes of every package is not covered by
+the signature.  This should not be cause for alarm as the lead
+is only used by file(1), and by RPM to determine the package type
+(either source or binary) and architecture.
