The Tor project has a "How to verify signatures for packages" page:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en

I doubt that many users read, understand and follow the instructions,
though. For someone who has never heard of OpenPGP and the concepts
involved before, the instructions are rather complicated.

I agree that having such instructions anyway would be a good idea, though.
