This is mentioned in the thread that Raphael Geisser points to in the
other message: basically, the buildds skip signature checking because
they also need to get packages from incoming, which are not in a signed
repository. I'm following up to this in a reply to Raphael, though.

It seems that you can't, in my version of sbuild, unless you patch the
code. The code responsible for disabling signature checking is in
/usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm and it does not seem to allow any sort
of customisation:
sub _setup_options (\$\$) {
[...]
if (defined($info) &&
defined($info->{'Location'}) && -d $info->{'Location'}) {
[...]
my $aptconf = "/var/lib/sbuild/apt.conf";
[...]
# Always write out apt.conf, because it may become outdated.
if (my $F = new File::Temp( TEMPLATE => "$aptconf.XXXXXX",
DIR => $self->get('Location'),
UNLINK => 0) ) {
print $F "APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated true;\n";
print $F "APT::Install-Recommends false;\n";
if (! rename $F->filename, $chroot_aptconf) {
die "Can't rename $F->filename to $chroot_aptconf: $!\n";
}
}
} else {
die $self->get('Chroot ID') . " chroot does not exist\n";
}
}

You can actually ignore that if you run something like this before you
start doing your builds of the day:
schroot -c sid-source -- sh -c "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; apt-get
autoclean; apt-get clean"
