If I sign a deb with debsign and then run apt-ftparchive on it, it
claims it is not a valid deb.

E: This is not a valid DEB archive, missing 'debian-binary' member

This has all been specified in the dpkg deb(5) man page for a very long
time. apt started to support ar members ended with a / in 0.7.21, as
part of bug report #500988, and apt has been marked as being compliant
for a long time in <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/DebSupport>.

Closing this report.

Thanks,
Guillem
