There's another possibility that I do use together with my sponsor
Tony Mancill:

I build the package unsigned:

  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakaroot -us -uc


And my sponsor only signs the package using debsign (and doesn't rebuild
it). There's still my name in the maintainer field of the changes file,
but the package is accepted because it is signed by my sponsor.
