I do not know internals as I did not see yet signed package. But if
signed package fetched from GNU ELPA then such is verified against
official key on user's computer, right?
Now take in account that signed packages will be distributed through
mirrors and mirrors already exist.
If archive-contents or meta data is signed and can be technically used
by mirror, that would be fine. If archive-contents need to be changed
or mirror wants to mirror only specific packages then package need to
be signed.
