Bug#247824: /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: please consider using dpkg-sig instead of debsign

[Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de>]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.10.21
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage

Hi,

for a while now, the package dpkg-sig has been available to sign
packages. dpkg-sig is vastly superior over debsign because:

  - it creates a signature on the binary package as well
  - it caches the passphrase, only requiring the maintainer to type
    the passphrase once

Please consider adding an option to dpkg-buildpackage that allows
usage of dpkg-sig instead of debsign.

Greetings
Marc
