As people already suggested, always try to use one of the tools for this, but
to answer your very first question: the file you showed was *not* a valid
.changes

There needs to be an empty line between the md5sum and the gpg signature or
dinstall (dakatie?) won't grok it, so add an empty line at the bottom before
you sign it. (get a bug report about this and you'll never forget it ;-)
The tools available for automatic changes signing seem to do this for you.

Regards,

Filip
