Unfortunatly, the method debsigs uses to add the signature to the .deb provuces a file that apt (including apt-ftparchive) does not consider to be a debian package. This makes it kind of hard to upload the result to the debian archive. :-( I filed bugs about this a long time ago, it is apparently blocked waiting on the mythical dpkg 2.0 which is supposed to have its own external ar program that generates more valid debs. See the bugs of apt, dpkg, and/or debsigs (I forget which, and am offline) for details. I'm *sure* there is some way around it that does not involve waiting on dpkg 2.0, of course, if someone has the energy to work on it. -- see shy jo
