Note there are some dragons (from #debian-devel):

1520499444 < Viiru> ukleinek: So upstream is providing multiple
	different compressed files and only one signature or some such?
1520499454 < ukleinek> Viiru: ack
1520499460 < Viiru> ukleinek: Do note that this scheme assumes that your
	decompressor is not an attack vector.
1520499484 < Viiru> (gpg itself is also obviously an attack vector, but
	that is unavoidable)
1520499494 < jcristau> (and sigs for uncompressed tarballs seem like a
	bad idea regardless)
1520499567 < Viiru> I'd suggest educating upstream instead of trying to
	make this scheme work.

And with my addition of the .tar.asc I broke the upload processing.
(It's not yet entirely clear to me if I added the .tar.asc in a wrong
way or if it's mere presence was the problem.)

Best regards
Uwe
