Alright, if this is only for legacy reasons, then adding gnupg to the installed-packages list makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe put signing behind a (default off) config variable, instead of automatically doing it when /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys exists? This way, upgrades would receive the new behaviour by default, and users building for squeeze can flip it back on (maybe with an 'if dist eq "squeeze"'). Thanks! -- ,''`.
