My bad. Be careful: in general, you should *not* sign changes files for packages that are not intended to be included in the Debian archive. Once the changes file is signed, anyone can upload your package to the Debian archive whether that was your intent or not. It's trivial to ensure your changes file will be rejected by katie, by setting the 'distribution' field in your changelog to an unknown value. In this case, your package would also be rejected because it's a sourceful upload of a package that already has source in the archive; but if this had not been the case, you might have found yourself blamed for whatever bugs this build introduced. In any case, perhaps this particular build should have been a binary-only upload to experimental, to join the i386 build already there? Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
