On the sbuild/buildd side, we have run dpkg-buildpackage with
"-us -uc" by default for years.  If you do enable signing, as is
the case for buildd uploads, we run debsign explicitly after
dpkg-buildpackage completed.  This avoids any need for GPG keys
to be present in the build chroot.  So from the POV of making
"-us -uc" the default, I think that's a good plan and matches
the requirements of the majority of both manual and automated
builds.  And from the POV of having a replacement for debsign,
we can conditionally switch to using it as soon as it becomes
available.
