Let me rephrase that (I didn't make myself too clear):

1. What happens in the case a package is signed by someone who is not
the active maintainer for that package but who is a Debian maintainer?
Would this be allowed (eg non-maintainer-uploads)?

>2. Is it desirable to prevent the Packages file from being tampered with?

I think that this is important - eg somebody could tamper with this
file and damage Debian's name.
