Good by whose criteria? Yours? Mine? Joe random Developer's?
What is more important -- speed, not seeing garbage on the screen
when uploading, or ensuring one always signs stuff? What if I use
pbuilder and it always signs stuff for me, so the check is just a
waste of time? What if I wanna upload even when linda crashes (as it
does periodically for me)?
Why are people so darned allergic to looking up the
documentation and configuring packages to suit their needs? Why must
one always be spoon fed pap from the maintainer, straight out of the
box, so one does not ever have to think an iota for one self?
What if there is no One True Way To Configure Everything?
The settings I provided suited the needs of the parent
poster -- but may or may not suit the needs of everyone else (the
linda afficianados would not like the settings, nor would people who
always ensure their packages are signed by other means).
