Package: dgit
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@debian.org

dgit overrides the include lists for dpkg, causing packages to include
additional .gitignore and similar files which dpkg-source -b will
exclude.

This creates a significant hurdle to the NMU process and downstream
distribution maintainers who have to figure out how to reduce the
delta again, because in both cases, unrelated changes should not
be present in the diff between the two uploads.

Like I had to spend about 20 minutes or so today trying to figure out
how to actually get that sorted out for a native package (I was trying
-i all the time when I should have passed -I), in turn I discovered
some other process issues but that's beside the point :D
