Tested with the following in my pacman.conf

[options]
SigLevel = Optional    (also with this commented out)

[allanbrokeit]
SigLevel = Required

[kernel64]
SigLevel = DatabaseRequired

(Arch repos without SigLevel specified)


Everything seems to work as expected.  The [allanbrokeit] repo gives all 
sorts of failures without signatures and the [kernel64] repo failed when 
there was no repo signature but is happy about the lack of package 
signatures within the repo.
