Sorry, I don't know. I don't even know how to determine whether that particular
package is signed. I know little about packages and am just trying to get this
blocking bug fixed.

It would be helpful if someone could look into this who knows about packages.
I'll CC: this to Artur, who I hope fills the bill. Artur, could you please look
at Bug#22440, or let us know who we should ask about this? Thanks.
