Actually it will, because the fix means dak will store and always check
the fingerprint of the file after stripping the sig from the file. But
as I said the archive will either want to be rebuilt or a update script
will need to be created to regenerate the fingerprints for the .dsc's.
That said after a version bump the issue will be solved for a given
package anyway.

proposed alt fix pushed to branch dans-fix on git.do
