Details

There are URL redirects everywhere! We can try following them, stripping the query part of the URL, checking if the URL appears to include a file name, and finally hoping we get the matched signature file, but this appears to be a fragile approach.

Look into removing support for anything but plain database/package URLs where we can assume adding ".sig" to the end gets the signature file.

We need to figure out:
- does this break anything we actually care about
- deprecation strategy.
This task depends upon
