Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.6
Severity: wishlist

It would be very handy if 'dget -x' supported an extra option to verify
the GnuPG signature on the .dsc file before unpacking. If no signature
is provided, dget could emit a warning but proceed with dpkg-source -x
anyway. If a bad signature was found, dget could halt with a fatal
error. If a good signature is found, dget could simply print the gpg
message and continue.

Something like 'dget -x --verify' or 'dget -x --sig' ?

Might be useful without the -x command too but my main usage (as a
sponsor) would be as a qualifier to -x.
