Umm, colour me confused.  Won't that cause a horrendous loop?  IIRC
packages@debian.org is generated from the Maintainer field; so
apt@packages.debian.org would point at... apt@packages.debian.org.

In any event, I think it's fine, dpkg does it, I do it with gawk &
mawk (it's an alias pointing to me and Chris) and debian-keyring (an
alias pointing to me and Igor), Enrique does it for bootfloppies, and
it's done for all Debian-QA orphaned packages.
