Maybe the debsign should be renamed dpkg-sign, and added to dpkg-dev.
That way it can be called seperately (and we combine code).
Also, FYI, someone is offering to recreate debsign as a C program, so
that it only has to ask for the passphrase once. This will help a lot,
especially if/when package signing is an everyday occurence.
