I believe that the key is chosen from the name in debian/changelog.
It is best to add
export DEBFULLNAME="Joseph Nahmias" and
export DEBEMAIL="joe@nahmias.net"
to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (or equivalent). That way, dch
will get your name right and you won't have to pass -k to
dpkg-buildpackage.
