I found the easiest way to do this is for the sponsor to build the
package with

  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -k"your key"

where "your key" identifies the key the sponsor wants to sign
with.

That way the NM gets the install email and bug reports directly.

And if the sponsor puts his name/email in the comment field in
his GPG options file -- see benc's key sig for an example -- it's
immediately apparent who the sponsor is in case of problems.
This information is in the signature itself of course.
