The only way to truly get that confirmation is by using the signature
files, or other signature mechanism (preferably via another channel)

Samuli: Maybe our release announcements should be PGP signed, with
sha256sums of the files we're releasing?  And maybe we should consider
a possibility to host at least a copy of the PGP signatures of our
files on an external server too?  (That should *not* be a mirrored
setup, but somehow distributed outside of a public HTTP{,S})
