Launchpad PPAs don't have the ability to sign the packages. It would require use of your private key to sign the packages since they're built on the server, not on my or another devs machine. If at some point the PPA packages support this will make sure to update the wiki docs.

Sorry, but i think you're wrong. I have a PPA myself and it uses my gpg key listed on Launchpad to sign the packages. I don't know if the gnome-do PPA is related to a group or to yourself, but if you have uploaded a GPG key to your profile, your PPA will use it to sign your packages.

No, you sign the source package that you upload to the PPA. The binary
packages that are produced are not signed. You only upload your public
GPG key to your profile, it would not be possible for launchpad to sign
anything without having the private key.
