I personally think it should be in the *.dsc file because that makes it
more visible directly in the archive if we need to track down how a
package was uploaded for some reason.  (This is the security engineer in
me talking, probably.)  We probably *could* track down the same
information via *.changes and other systems, but I don't see a reason to
not put it in the *.dsc file and conceptually think of it as "replacing"
the current uploader signature on the *.dsc file.

That said, I could be missing some subtlety of why the *.changes file
would be better.
