Bug#855320: developers-reference: Please do not recommend debrsign
Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.18
Severity: normal
Control: tags -1 patch
Control: affects -1 devscripts
Please do not mention debrsign in the developers-reference. The
workflow encouraged by debrsign is less secure than the one we'd like
to recommend for developers (it involves the untrusted machine having
ssh access to the trusted machine), so we should be trying to phase it
out.
