Great.

Yes, that would be exactly the kind of thing I want.
Since I want to make dgit easy to use even on older releases of Debian
(and derivatives thereof), I will want to have some kind of way of
telling whether the version of Dpkg::Control::Hash supports this
feature.
Experimentation with squeeze and sid[1] shows me that when the feature
is supported but the message isn't signed, that get_option returns
0, whereas if the feature isn't supported it returns undef. Can I
rely on this or is there a better way ?
Thanks,
Ian.
