Whenever I need to set up signing or signature checking for a new
archive (or mirror of an archive), I need to work in
~/.arch-params/signing/.  I also modify ~/.arch-params/hook every now
and then.

It is somewhat unclear what the future plans for .arch-params/ are;
there's been some talk about using xl for most/all config files, which
to me seems to imply that it would at least be kosher (but not
required) to hand-edit files in there.

I agree it is a minor annoyance, and I'm not vehemently opposed to
keeping the current name; after all, once I found out which knob to
twist, it was easy to make things work the way I wanted them to.

However, I think now (i.e. prior to the 1.0 release) would be a good
time to change the default, if it ever is to be done.
