Indeed!  Let's not separate content from signature.  They must be
transfered together.  So the Release.sigstore and Release.sigsum idea is
probably a bad one.

The above also ties into the crypto argument that detached signature
APIs are inherently insecure, and having APIs (and thus file formats)
that return a trusted message only on verification success is more
robust.  I think we are stuck supporting detached signature formats for
some time, but let's see if we can design a solution that permit both
approaches.
