I am not 100% sure.
Usually every upload references the .asc file in the .dsc file but only
the first upload (the full-source upload) references the .asc file in
the .changes file (the rules seem to be the same as for the .orig file
from what I can tell).
So I *think* if I would manually fiddle the .asc file into the .changes
file then everything should be okay. If that is the case then dgit would
probably do the right thing. I don't know if DAK allows this - it might
not care.
However, I would like avoid losing the file in the first place :)
