Hehe, yes that is a better idea - particularly if people are getting
started with packaging.

Righto, didn't realise that was the done thing.

Could be the gnupg configuration.  My guess is that it looks at the
email address in the changelog and finds the key related to that
address.  Or it could be using the address specified by this bit in my
.bashrc:
    export DEBFULLNAME="David Symons"
    export DEBEMAIL="david.symons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
... although I'd say those variables are more for devscripts such as dch.
