Remote signing?

[Roscoe]

Seeing as a detached sig is just a signed hash, you could hash the
file remotely then copy the hash over and construct a detached sig
from that. I imagine no current app supports that kind of thing(??) so
that might involve X amount of pissing about coding your own solution.

Many folk just run sha1sum and sign the output of that.
It's requires a extra command to be run to verify but nothing major.
