Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.8.10
Severity: normal

dpkg-buildpackage appears to specify the signing key using the name
and address given in the changelog.  If there are multiple keys with
this name and address, the wrong one (one not in the keyring) may be
selected.

I now have to either some extra options to dpkg-buildpackage every
time - either -k<keyid> to force use of the right key, or -uc -us to
defer signing to debsign (which *does* let me configure the key ID).

Please provide some means to configure the key, other than the -k
option, or disable signing by default.

Ben.
