64K hashed and 64K unhashed is enough for any description.  If something
has lots of little stuff exceeding 64k, just make more signature packets,

64k is perfectly okay as this allows us to parse subpackets in memory
- this can't be done for possible huge packets with a 4 byte length
header.  The code to process packets of abitrary length is already
there and implemented for literal data; where it really makes sense.

Is it only me who thinks a signature packet should be a signature and not
a document, certificate, or whatever with signature?

You are right.
