Oops, I couldn't find one on my system, which is why I forgot to fill
it in. I think its a detached cryptographic signature, I guess for
the .changes file (right?).

This part of policy is probably "interprettable"; you certainly have
to be able to build the package multiple times and end up with the
same thing (so, if you add a line to a file, you have to remove it
somewhere, or only add it conditionally).
Whereras the sed script is somewhat *elegeant* and describes the
changes in a way that might survive where a patch|diff would break, it
does end up storing the diff, also.

Yep; I see you moved them into the "install" target, which I guess
makes some sense. But my preference would be to put it in the "build"
target instead, since it *also* uses setup.py. (One advantage is that
if the sed script (if you keep it) breaks the python script, the
"build" will fail, earlier than "install" would have.

Haha; well, I have only used the dpkg-scanpackages backend myself, and
so probably can't help much with apt-proxy..

This will normally happen whenever your version number is greater than
any other version number for that package, in the sources you have
specified (I think). Isn't this what you want, already without
pinning?

Hmm do the different repository tools have options for this? I guess
it depends on how many packages you are going to build; of course you
can look at the Debian layout:
