The bug report is public and I'm happy for any further comments to be
public. I'll be uploading the fixed package tonight and closing this
bug. There is (IMHO) no need to use encryption for this matter any
longer.

That patch has been further revised and sync'd to emdebian.org.

That aspect is not a bug. The files in that location are meant to be
readable and output to the web. A further enhancement removes the / in
the $pkg variable so that '/path/to' becomes 'pathto' as $pkg should
only contain a package name, not a path.
