Hello Sven, sorry for my slow answer.

This was a mistake of mine, I probably failed to write it correctly. I
apologize.

So I understand, if I had included the full sources, then the .asc file
would have been included as well? And does this work? - I remember that
in the past I was told that the sources are already in the archive,
and hence cannot be uploaded again (but I might be wrong on this).
Then this two things should be documented:
1. .asc files are always (automatically) included if the upstream
sources are included (either by default or by -sa)
2. .asc files cannot be included on their own, but rather require the
corresponding upstream sources (which would make sense, indeed).

[1] If I'm right that the upstream source can only be uploaded once,
then possibly a sentence that .asc files should only be included at
Debian revision 1.
