You need to find the .changes file. If the upload closes any bugs, you
can extract it from the BTS, but unfortunately the attempts at bug
closing in these uploads were mistyped (cc'ing the maintainer due to
this: Gaetan, you need to make sure to include the colon, that is
"(Closes: #200341)", not "(Closes #200341)"). Failing that, people with
accounts on auric can get the .changes file from queue/done and use 'gpg
--verify' to check the signature.
The sponsor in this case was Julien Danjou <acid@debian.org>.
