Oh, sorry, I misread your first email, reading that your upstream does
provide signatures, and even with that lintian was nagging you.

Yes, if upstream does not publish gpg signatures, you are stuck with
that tag.  You may override it if you wish so (I personally wouldn't),
but the idea is that you should talk with upstream and "convince" him to
start doing so.

MD5 is useless and is nearly as good nothing for integrity checking.
