http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Pack200#Pack200_and_Signing suggests that when signing AND packing, we need to do this:
{code}
* pack200a:normalize [only needed for signing]
* sign
* pack200b:pack
* Alter p2 metadata ("I have altered the metadata. Pray that I don't alter it further." - Darth Tycho)
{code}

Therefore, need one profile for normalize+sign (later, in JBIDE-13407), and a second one for pack+altering_metadata.

So maybe we need two profiles for packing?

> p2 provides the pack200 stuff, which offers a better compressions for jars, and then that makes downloads faster when installing.
> We should set up our repo to create the pack200'd artifacts.
