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.
