+This is the signature file for "$PACKAGEFILE",
+which contains version "$VERSION" of "$PACKAGE".
+
+Here's how to check this signature.
+
+1) Make sure that this is really a signature file, and not a forgery,
+   with:
+
+     "gpg --verify $SIGNATUREFILE"
+
+   The key should be one of the keys that signs the Tor release; the
+   official Tor website has more information on those.
+
+   If this step fails, then either you are missing the correct key, or
+   this signature file was not really signed by a Tor packager.
+   Beware!
+
+2) Make sure that the package you wanted is indeed "$PACKAGE", and that
+   its version you wanted is indeed "$VERSION".  If you wanted a
+   different package, or a different version, this signature file is
+   not the right one!
+
+3) Now that you're sure you have the right signature file, make sure
+   that you got the right package.  Check its $DIGESTNAME digest with
+
+     "gpg --print-md $DIGESTNAME $PACKAGEFILE"
+
+   The output should match this, exactly:
+
+$DIGESTOUTPUT
+
+   Make sure that every part of the output matches: don't just check the
+   first few characters.  If the digest does not match, you do not have
+   the right package file.  It could even be a forgery.
+
+Frequentlty asked questions:
+
+Q: Why not just sign the package file, like you used to do?
+A: GPG signatures authenticate file contents, but not file names.  If
+   somebody gave you a renamed file with a matching renamed signature
+   file, the signature would still be given as "valid".
