Who is signing these uploads for you?

As far as amd64 goes, there are *no* bugs of severity: serious in
Debian.  amd64 is not a release architecture at present, and policy does
not contain any amd64-specific requirements.

Please refresh my memory re: where this was agreed to.  I don't remember
anyone being given carte blanche to upload amd64-specific changes to
t-p-u, and I certainly don't think we've said anything to suggest we
want to be used as a weapon when arguing with maintainers about amd64
support.
