For ports.d.o maybe; for ftp-master.d.o not: only DSA-maintained buildds
get automatic signing.
For non-DSA maintained buildds (hurd only?) the maintainer gets to
review the .changes and sign them with his own key.
Though it might make sense to move kfreebsd-* to ports.d.o. That was
planned to happen for hurd-i386 too.
