Some upstreams used detached GPG signatures to allow others to verify
that their tarballs have not been tampered with or corrupted. Others
simply add add files containing hash sums. uscan should support checking
both of these verification methods. Automatically downloading and
checking .asc/.gpg/.md5sum/.sha1sum/.sha256sum files would be a start
but probably uscan needs to have some options for this in case upstream
stores such files in different directories.
