But doesn't it mean that anybody who manages to hack into your web
server, or who does a man in the middle attack on the HTTP (without S)
connection, is able to replace the setup-x86.exe by a malicious one
and to also provide a corresponding setup-x86.exe.sig, so that the gpg
output will be "good signature but untrusted key"?

my 2 cents.
