The beautiful thing is, neither passphrase goes trough the web.
The pgp-signing is made in your own machine.

A fine option. Dupload have "methods" which currently can be scp
or ftp; just add a "local" method (or maybe call it "cp") and
configure the dupload running in master to always use this
method.
And when we use dupload in master, it would also be cool to be
able to skip the "-to master" - sounds dumb :-)
