Thanks for the summary. Well thought. So packages don't seem to be a
good solution. The technical implementation depends on a social
component: Can you enforce the location of the key/policy to all
vendors? If there is perhaps a proprietary software which insists on a
custom location we need to transfer the path somehow, currently the
preferred way would be a package record/control field. Otherwise we
could just simple hard code the path. It would make sense to store the
key outside of /opt/pkgname to avoid people "uninstalling" software by
"rm -rf" and deleting the key. A possible path could be
/var/lib/licenses/pkgname.

Is there a way to sign the license keys by Launchpad?
