It is sometimes convenient to keep files deleted in the integration
branch of a version control system even if these files are dfsg free;
most recently I did this to facilitate cherry-picking patches from
upstream of an embedded library (yes, ick, I know). There is no nice
way of representing this in a quilt series; one easily ends up with
enormous patches. Currently I do some shenanigans like
git diff --diff-filter=D --name-only >> debian/clean
This works, but the dependence on debhelper to unpack is unsatisfactory.
Cheers,
d
