I found a couple of threads related to signing the siteXX.tgz install
files, and was wondering what the future (5.6) of this might look like.

If I understand the present (5.5) situtation correctly, if site*.tgz are
created & distributed, you have to trust your own files & method of
distribution.

site*.tgz is now a pretty serious outlier. ....

It "works" exactly as intended: your siteXX.tgz file is something YOU
generated, OpenBSD has no idea what's in it. If you can't trust your
siteXX.tgz file and how it gets from you to you, you have much bigger
problems that signing isn't going to fix.
