That reminds me of `debrsign`. From it's manual page:

| DEBRSIGN(1)            General Commands Manual            DEBRSIGN(1)
| 
| NAME
|        debrsign  - remotely sign a Debian .changes and .dsc file pair
|        using SSH
| 
| SYNOPSIS
|        debrsign [options] [user@]remotehost [changes-file|dsc-file]
| 
| DESCRIPTION
|        debrsign takes either an unsigned .dsc  file  or  an  unsigned
|        .changes  file and the associated unsigned .dsc file (found by
|        replacing the architecture name and .changes by  .dsc)  if  it
|        appears in the .changes file and signs them by copying them to
|        the remote machine using  ssh(1)  and  remotely  running  deb-
|        sign(1)  on  that  machine.   All options not listed below are
|        passed to the debsign program on the remote machine.

I hope this helps.
