It looks like that's what other have recommended too - it wouldn't be  
too difficult, but we're looking for a more standard way of doing  
this.  It could be argued that a passphrase is required to be  
"standard", but I'll omit that from my argument ;)

RE the batch signing - I'd thought of that as well, but our RPM  
creation tools create an RPM repository in the process, so remembering  
to batch sign them would be a human-required intervention.

thanks!
