I left it out on purpose as it's better if the packager gets the key for
verification using its own channel. If it's in the tarball, then it
could be modified at the same time as the tarball. If someone wants to
directly use the .spec file from the source tarball in order to build
libvirt-glib, this is indeed going to be an issue. I don't think this is
what is commonly done, is it?
Yes, it is something we need to support - ie rpmbuild -ta <tarball>
should work
So in retrospect we need to make this conditional, defaulting to
off, and just change it to default to on in fedora / rhel formal
builds
