The user might, either before, either after using the Installer, do
stronger verification on the signing key in her own keyring. For example
you might have a personal trust path or a local signature in your
personal keyring.

Maybe an alternative would be to combine both without modifying the
user's keyring:
1. Verify first with the signing key from the package
2. Also try to verify the ISO using the user's keyring
3. Compare both results and warn the user if they differ
