Not 'that' difficult :) I've just uploaded new mplayer release to extras from my old RedHat clone without any problem.
Here is the log. I hope it helps:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
$ ls
mplayer_1.0pre8-maemo.7_armel.changes mplayer_1.0pre8-maemo.7.diff.gz
mplayer_1.0pre8-maemo.7_armel.deb mplayer_1.0pre8-maemo.7.dsc
$/scratchbox/devkits/debian/bin/debsign -e"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mplayer_1.0pre8-maemo.7_armel.changes
signfile mplayer_1.0pre8- maemo.7.dsc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<skipped pathphrase's requests>
Successfully signed dsc and changes files
$ scp * [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/www/extras/incoming/
That's it. After 2 minutes all mplayer files were accessible by apt from extras repo.
BTW, I didn't manage to sign packages in scratchbox because of gnupg problem:
signfile mplayer_1.0pre8-maemo.7.dsc Ed Bartosh < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
gpg: WARNING: "--no-show-policy-url" is a deprecated option
gpg: please use "--list-options no-show-policy-urls" instead
gpg: WARNING: "--no-show-policy-url" is a deprecated option
gpg: please use "--verify-options no-show-policy-urls" instead
gpg: protection algorithm 3 is not supported
gpg: skipped "Ed Bartosh < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>": unknown cipher algorithm
gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: unknown cipher algorithm
debsign: gpg error occurred! Aborting....

You're right Ed, it's not a matter of linux flavour, but of availability of debian utilities for your distribution. I know you can always download the sources and install what you need, but I still think that if Maemo for Scratchbox provided these tools just out-of-the-box life would be a little bit easier for us ;-) !
Anyway, I'm gonna try the Sardine way and see if I can manage to make it work.
