It's the "only" part I have a question about.

Does the use of Authenticode preclude detached GPG signatures of the exe file?
I can't see how it would, but maybe there's something (well, a lot of
somethings ;) I don't know about Windows.

If not, then what's the problem with also providing a GPG signature?

Cheers,
