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
