I've thought about that, but these repos are a shared effort where the secret 
key is also shared by four trusted people - thus there is a source for race 
conditions - albeit the repos are not really that heavily used.

Thus maybe I should consider doing a 2-way sync:

let other people do their work and include their packages, rsync to my local 
machine, sign/export, rsync again to remote site - downside could be that I'm 
from time to time on very slow networks.

(other alternative is of course to rise to the benevolent dictator and just 
accept new packages by other users and include those myself and use your work 
flow).

So, maybe my question was just a very theoretical one :)

Thanks for the reply

Carsten
