Build package on debian machine with fast connection by accessing
with ssh. Then copy 2 small files (dsc, changes) to the local machine
and sign. Copy back them and upload. You do not need to upload rom
your local machine.
So your bandwidth is not key issue here.
(I have ADSL connection and I admit I do things locally.)
