The debsign script fails to scp files which contain a colon (":") in their

Please, find attached to this bug report a simple patch that fixes the
problem when uploading a .changes file.
It doesn't handle when the file is an absolute path, since the change
would convert that to a path relative to the working directory.
I may be misunderstanding the internals of debsign, but it seems to me
that, when using option -r, the $changes variable will always contain a
bare filename that refers to the temporary directory whose name is stored
in $remotefilesdir.
This is ensured by the code in the dosigning() function, line 606 of
/usr/bin/debsign:
changes=`basename "$changes"`
I maintain that my patch works, even though it may not be the perfect
solution for the current issue.
Notice that my patch has no effect when debsign signing a local .changes
file with an eventual full path name passed as argument.
Best,
Rafael
