This produces an NMU:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -m'Happy Sponsor <nice@foo.bar>'"

These three possibilities work correctly:
* dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -k0x<sponsor's PGP key ID>
* dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us && cd .. && \
  debsign -k0x<sponsor's PGP key ID> foo_23-42_i386.changes
* dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us && cd .. && \
  debsign -m'Happy Sponsor <nice@foo.bar>' foo_23-42_i386.changes

Following Martin Godischisch's tip to check Changed-By in the
changes-file is never a bad idea.
