And even if the desire is to include the signature in the distribution
(as is common for code-signing - you want the signature in the 
executable, the jar file, etc), then it's still possible to include,
say, a PGP signature inside the file, which may well be a signature
to the manuscript, preserving the rest of the signing procedure.
