Hi - I can create a bug for this if required, but it seems a bit meta
and trivial.

Can the description of packages with '-unsigned' in the name include an
explanation of what 'unsigned' means in this context?

I understand now it relates to Secure Boot, but initially I was worried
that I was installing an unsigned and therefore potentially untrusted
package.

Thanks,
Richard
