Sorry for the delay!  First some comments on the verification, which I
think should be treated in a separate commit:

I took a slightly different approach in commit
debc6360e111e8efc8a938b2aef28e5b3616ada8, where I essentially copied the
text from “Binary Installation”.

I’ll comment on the rest later.

Thanks,
