Description

Hello,
There is currently no way to verify the complete integrity of releases. Please consider signing your releases so that package maintainers can verify the sources prior to packaging.

See here for how-to and complete details:
https://wiki.debian.org/Creating%20signed%20GitHub%20releases

Thank you
