Yes I realize, the same signing script will not work this way for the
DLA text format. The DSA starts the text with a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-$DSAID                   security@debian.org
https://www.debian.org/security/                 $SPACEDDEBFULLNAME
$SPACEDDATE                https://www.debian.org/security/faq
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

whereas the DLA template does not have such a heading part, so the
sign-advisory.sh cannot find the number of lines belonging to the
header.

If you have a fixed. Something like the following should work for DLA's
then:

( head -n 4 $1; tail -n +5 $1 | gpg --clearsign ) > $1.signed

HTH,

Salvatore
