I think we should build them on PPA, per the previous thread.

We have the option of after building, copying them into the
bazaar-vcs.org repository.  This has the advantages that it's an easy
transition for existing users, and allows the archive to be signed.
It has the drawbacks of needing to find/configure/write some scripts
to pull them across and sign it, possibly needing to be signed
manually, having more moving parts, and not dogfooding   PPAs so
completely.

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/125103 (archives are not
signed) has a script that claims to mirror a ppa to another location
and sign it.  I'll look at setting that up for our archive.

OK, I'll update that from the source packages.
