Yes, i have done this for the -1 package (i built it on voltaire), but
later one i thought it to be nice that i could do a source only upload,
which is something that doesn't work as expected.
Anyway, i tried to build only the arch:all package on voltaire also, but
without sucess. If you can rebuild only ocaml-source for ocaml 3.06-6
and upload that, please go ahead, it would be an NMU, i don't think
there is problem with the signature stuff. The problem here is in
building only the arch:all packages, i don't think dpkg-buildpackage is
able to do that.
(And about the key stuff, you just ftp the .changes and the .dsc, and
sign them at home, or even, you ssh to the box, and cut&paste them, it
works nice).
