See https://bugs.debian.org/719844#30 for Guillem Jover's opinion on the
matter. For the meantime, we currently added the above to `dh_builddeb`,
but `nis` doesn't use debhelper.

We might have found a way that could be acceptable to perform a similar
operation while dpkg creates data.tar but it hasn't been proposed yet
and so it might also not suits the maintainers of dpkg.
