Yes, as shown above.  :-)

(See NARInfo.pm in Hydra.)

You could copy one from /nix/var/nix/substitute-binary/cache or from a
URL like above.

To get the signature sexp, you can run ‘guix authenticate rsautl -sign
...’ (see tests/guix-authenticate.sh for an example.)  Then you’ll have
to base64-encode it somehow.
