I found what comments in /etc/pacman.conf about signature verification is out of date:

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

So I propose following changes to make comments consistent with default settings:

# By default, pacman accepts only packages signed by keys that its local keyring trusts (see pacman-key and its man page)
# The only exclusion is packages from local filesystem, such packages can be unsigned
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

I have created patch file and attached it to this ticket.
This task depends upon
