As there was no announcement I assume no.

Afaict e.g. fuse http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fuse/news/1.html was
uploaded as NMU. Your sponsor probably rebuilt the package with
dpkg-buildpackage -mhis@address
instead of either using
dpkg-buildpackage -kkey‐id
or
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
followed by a invokation of debsign..

dpkg-buildpackage -kkey‐id
or
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us && debsign -kkey‐id /path/to/foo_changes

Yes, if done correctly.

No.

I do not think so, Developers' Reference is correct, afaict.

No, not really, it is more like a lifo, i.e. the last uploaded package
is tried first.

The buildds do not check build-dependencies before they try to build the
package. When the buildd maintainer checks the failed buildlog he'll set
the respective package to dep-wait.

The buildd's (lully) harddisk broke and the machine acting as
temporary replacement (escher) is almost (?) too slow.
