Yes, but there was a bug and I somehow forgot about the patches in
#759401 that Guillem Jover provided. So dak should now accept upstream
signatures, dpkg in stable should ignore them (but not throw an error)
and dpkg in unstable/testing will hopefully start to include them in the
source package (.dsc) soon.

For a given upstream tarball the upstream signature should go in a file
with the extension `.asc`. For example, for
  dune-common_2.4.1.orig.tar.xz
the signature should be in
  dune-common_2.4.1.orig.tar.xz.asc

It should be safe for uscan to already create this file: older versions
of dpkg should just ignore it.
