I do not think that there are good reasons to automatize the signing
process which needs to be done only once (before the upload). If you
want to safe some time perhaps gpg-agent is your friend but I have not
tried it personally (even after signing a lot of packages).

I admit I'm not completely sure what you are talking about. There is an
upstream version which is newer than the rough packaging stuff in our
SVN:
$ uscan --report
Processing watchfile line for package mira...
Newest version on remote site is 3.2.0, local version is 3~rc2
mira: Newer version (3.2.0) available on remote site:
http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/mira-assembler/mira-3.2.0.tar.bz2
(local version is 3~rc2)
Could you adapt the packaging at
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/mira/trunk/
and I could try the build process? Otherwise I have no clue what you
are talking about. If there is any problem please do not hesitate to
ask here.
Kind regards
Andreas.
