I actually don't see how dpkg-buildpackage's
sign-immediately-after-build defaults ever make sense (except when
dpkg-buildpackage was originally written, when debsign didn't yet
exist). Why would you want to waste time signing a package you haven't
tested yet? Surely the order should be build, test, sign.
Accordingly, I have DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-uc -us", together
with a bunch of other options that don't matter here, in ~/.devscripts.
I've never yet found that I want the other behaviour.
