Dear Maintainer,

Hi.

Context: toying around with packaging for tasksh package upstream fix.

The --no-sign option that allows me to build my package without access
to the Debian maintainer's private key is not documented in the
documentation of git-buildpackage. Anywhere I've looked around. If it
is, it is well hidden.

This is confusing for the following reason: people trying to hack off a
quick and dirty package have to disable signing the package; but the
only thing the documentation talks about is signing tags. That confusion
has held me back in the past.

Documenting --no-sign would make things much easier. Lower the entry
bar.

Please consider.

Best regards.

G.
