Subject: bug#34125: Installation script needs to be secured with a gpg signature

I was looking at the installation video from Laura (not yet public) and
wondered about that:

We just download the installation script:

$ wget https://.../guix-install.sh

Then we go on directly executing that script.

Shouldn't that be save-garded by a PGP-signature too?

Because if it is not, the user could be tricked into a script that
downloads a "bad" Guix installation tarball. That's what we are always
criticising about others wget-scripts that install whatever to the user.

WDYT?
