Since the use of digital signatures is not illegal in the country that
OOo is distributed from, there shouldn't be any legal issues in
providing a digital signature of OOo builds that are released.

That does not negate the issue in countries in which digital
signatures are not legal. However, failing to provide a method that
ensures the integrity of software, becuse a some countries have
publicly declared that they not only are not worthy of trust, but have
a complete lack of integrity, is irresponsible.
