Summary

With more automation, this argument will become useless because it's a convenience feature. Also, the notion of "signing" here is is ambiguous between signed builds and signed binaries, so it's not particularly helpful in the first place.

Test Plan

./gitian-build.py -c -n -B -o m gitianuser v0.20.3
Output:

usage: gitian-build.py [options] version
gitian-build.py: error: unrecognized arguments: -B

Why increased automation would make this parameter obsolete? Why remove it before such automation exists and the parameter actually is obsolete?

In order to write that automation, I have to add unnecessary steps like generating keys in order to run the build using this script. By separating concerns better in this script, the automation will also have better separation of concerns.
