As discussed on IRC with Sune, even just searching the changes file for any dsc and signing that won't help in the general case. The code flow in question is designed to support the signing of a single file (or set of files in the case of changes+dsc), which works fine for local files as the shell expands the glob for us. Although Sune said his glob only ever matches one changes file, I'm not happy assuming all debsign users are that sane :-) >From a quick look at the code, the "easiest" solution would seem to be something along the lines of making the scp calls just copy to "." rather than an explicit filename, and then "if the filename contains a glob, find all the matching files and call dosigning() for each".
