We can have processes that make this faster but unfortunately if the 
infrastructure problem is bad enough, there's no way we can push package 
X out until the problem is at least partially resolved.

ie: We have to have a trusted machine to build packages on.  We have to 
have a trusted machine to sign packages on.  If we have to rebuild all 
of the boxes then all we can do is prioritise getting those back online 
and having a process for quickly getting the new key in use on those 
machines.
