So, any further comments on this before I take a stab at improving
things further.  So far the comments were:

1) distinguish between "pacman -U <url>" and "pacman -U <file>"
2) change name of option as "Upgrade" is confusing

What about using:
LocalFileSigLevel
RemoteFileSigLevel

Is RemoteFile too confusing with packages from repos?
