You don't actually need to do that (and arguably you should not repack orig tarballs unless you need to). For source format "3.0 (quilt)", dpkg-source contains a set of regexes for files which are automatically ignored when generating the final source package. .gitignore (and .git/) are on the list so any changes you make to upstream's .gitignore are completely ignored by dpkg-source. The exact list can be found near the top of this file: /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm James
