The PR (which I filed) is currently using "Signed-By" in most places (I
believe everywhere it's reasonably possible to use it) mainly because I
notice apt complains (gently) if it's missing, with the message
"Notice: Missing Signed-By in the sources.list(5) entry for
'http://deb.debian.org/debian'" or similar. While not critical, I found
these messages to be unsightly and they seemed to hint that including
Signed-By was a good idea, so I included it just to be sure.
