Subject: Reason for Module::Signature dependency unclear since 2008

Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=120722 >
As of 0.983, this dist has not shipped with any signature data:
https://metacpan.org/diff/file?target=SMUELLER/PAR-0.983/&source=SMUELLER/PAR-0.982/
I can also not spot any logic in this dist which would indicate a need for any
of the cryptographic modules it tries to depend on in Makefile.PL
This version number is just incidentally within relative proximity of the split
into PAR-Packer, which uses Module::Signature in PAR::Packer.pm
I suspect this could be simply a forgotten about dependency, or some
misunderstanding I have made from not being lucky enough to find relevant
documentation =).
( But the documentation I did read suggested signature generation was handled
by PAR::Packer, and verified by cpansign, and PAR.pm had no involvement )
