I thought there were some anonymous ones. I've never used them
so I'm not certain.

You can safely use the signed .dsc file for the source part.
The signed .changes files really only adds the .deb to that, but
the .deb itself isn't signed, so sign any ascii file that
displays the md5sum of the .deb. It doesn't have to be the
.changes file at all.
