Starting with version 1.17.0 the Dpkg::Control::Hash module records
that fact in the is_pgp_signed option. This is not documented, so you
might not want to rely on it, expecting to be an internal detail. But
I can make it part of the public interface by documenting it in the
next release, as it seems useful outside of Dpkg::Source::Package too.
The way to retrieve it, as of now is:
$ctrl->get_option('is_pgp_signed');
Would that be enough for your needs?
Thanks,
Guillem
