OK. So there's one signature, either for a standalone .el file, or for
the whole tarball. It makes sense, then, to host it in
`archive-contents'.

OK, great.

OK, so the package vector will have a new element. Releasing a package
will require releasing a new `archive-contents' with an updated
signature for that package and re-signing it with the "GNU ELPA"
maintainer key.
Last question: do you want to provide for files that may show up during
compilation? They could be ignored (current behavior), or warned about,
or could cause installation to be rejected.
