It's quite easy to add them, agreed. That could even be done with the
old sbuild version.
However, somehow the keys needs to be feed into a safe way.
Anyways, if someone could come up with the relevant code which works
(and has been shown to work for some time - just do that as an example
on amd64 or i386), that would be good to have it integrated. As said,
wanna-build is available via git, new options can be transfered in the
api=1-yaml-format (search for extra-changelog: in the code). If that
works stable and reliable, that would be great and one large item from
my whishlist done. (And as always: Above all, no harm. It shouldn't
disrupt existing buildds, chroots, whatever - I can remember well the
most recent upgrade of our buildds.)
