+CONTENTS *should* contain all pure files present in the tarball, even
though some of +CONTENTS may be automatically generated.  Some extra
plus-files need signing, however, as they (specifically the
INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts) can generate files not present in +CONTENTS or
the tarball itself at pkg_add time.
