This brings file siglevels in line with how db siglevels are handled.

As an aside, why is alpm storing these values at all? They're only used by the frontend.

Continuing your aside... aren't these stored in the backend so it can use them for signature verification? Or am I not understanding your question.

alpm never uses the localfilesiglevel or remotefilesiglevel options directly. It only stores them for pacman, which picks the appropriate one and passes it to alpm_pkg_load in upgrade.c. It seems like it would make more sense to just store them in the frontend. apg
