The Termux binaries on SourceForge are signed with public signing keys
published in the Emacs repository and meant for the resigned Termux
being distributed from the same location.  Users signing builds
individually should either compile Emacs from source code, with a
different set of signing keys, or modify any Emacs package they please,
not limited to what is in the "termux" directory.

Generally speaking, it is redundant to generate a signing key and resign
both Termux and Emacs, as their default keys are available to the
public:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/java/emacs.keystore
  https://github.com/termux/termux-app/blob/master/app/testkey_untrusted.jks

since, evidently, Android's policy of restricting program
interoperability to programs from a single publisher does not commend
itself to us or them.

Disable "Settings -> Language & Input -> Physical keyboard -> Use
on-screen keyboard."
