I'd feel very uncomfortable doing that, because it would mean, at least:
* introducing a core dpkg tool within a different namespace
* having to parse a devscripts specific configuration file
* having to support DAK specific .commands signing
* having to support remote signing
IMO having debsign become a thiner wrapper around this new tool would
be the goal, as it would simplify its code, people not wanting to use
debsign could use the dpkg tool directly, and people not wanting to
learn new stuff could keep using the wrapper w/o regressions.
Thanks,
