If you would be signing it locally for one system then I see why you
think of sarcasm but otherwise pacman should be configured to stop on a
non-signed package install.

p.s. I wasn't being sarcastic about the JS package, polkit now has
javascript based config files! and as I don't use it I see no point
installing extra code and an attacker familiar package that I won't
use. Conversely there is little point putting any effort into it as
it's not important, so you saved me a cruder quick hack.
