The second signed file includes checksum information from the first
signed file, so they cannot both be signed at the same time.  The only
way to type your passphrase only once is for your build scripts (e.g.,
dpkg-buildpackage) to store the passphrase in memory between invocations
of gpg.  This is generally regarded as a bad idea.
