Bug#868497: debian-policy: Signed .dsc Files
Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.0.0.4
Severity: wishlist
--
Debian Policy Manual, Section 5.4, "Debian source control files -
.dsc", states in the first sentence:
"This file consists of a single paragraph, possibly surrounded by a
PGP signature."
This does not state whether someone who is creating a package to be
uploaded by a sponsor can clearsign their own .dsc file, or if only
the sponsor is able to do that without causing upload problems.
What is permissible? Can you clarify that in a future update to this section?
Thank you,
Paul Hardy
