It's super simple to setup and use. Create a basic dput.cf and you are 
good to go.

I use reprepro too. Super simple to setup and use, would recommend.

This is something I would like to avoid as I might not always have full 
shell access to the repository from where the package is built.

Furthermore, I don't have access to all the packages in the repository 
in the same folder to manually generate Packages.gz. (reprepro can do it 
for me)

Ideally, I would like to upload a signed .changes control file to ensure 
the package wasn't tampered with or got corrupted during the transfer. 
(since .changes contains checksums)
