Files from all WOS consolidations should be signed, since the WOS RE's do the
signing on delivery to the WOS dock.

There's some exception lists - we don't sign various third party binaries
for instance, and I would expect everything Indiana replaces to be unsigned,
but most of the WOS bits should be signed.   (I'd have to check with the
other Alan if the Indiana dock for packages like the Indiana-special X &
GNOME ones also does the signing.)

I would also expect the packages from sources other than the traditional
Solaris WOS to be unsigned - netbeans, studio, hpc, openoffice, etc.
