So, given that you have to get the signature database somehow, how do
you propose that it's done? I suppose that a version without this is
possible, but suppose I then build it on my Linux box. I find that when
doing a package update the database associated with the previous
version is no use because its dependencies are the previous version's
binaries and it will then be removed and must be downloaded in any case.
There is no simple answer.
