Are the Debian upload queues not all password-protected?  If they are, then
the only danger is that another developer would upload your packages to the
queue, and that's as much a hanging offense as if they uploaded trojan
packages of their own, so. :)

If they aren't all password-protected, then how can we cryptographically sign
packages which are not suitable for upload into Debian that we want to
distribute from our own sites?
