Comment (by intrigeri):

 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:
 > intrigeri: Would that work for Tails if we enabled the signature check
 verification?

 Thanks for caring! I've just checked and AFAICT, we use the langpacks,
 that we extract from your tarball**s**, as-is. So I don't see what can
 possibly go wrong (famous last words) by enabling signature verification
 for them. Still, I'd be more comfortable if this change was applied in a
 Tor Browser 9.0 alpha/beta/RC, before 9.0 final, so we have a chance to
 test it while it's still time to fix stuff :)
