Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

The package for which I'm responsible (latex-cjk) now uses GIT
upstream.  I have set
  export DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=.git
but still debuild complains about binary data in the .git directory.

Currently I need to use "debuild -i.git -I.git" to get things working
correctly.  This is quite annoying.

I would make the following suggestion: when DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE is set,
put "-iX -IX" automatically behind dpkg-buildpackage.  That would be a
big help, and makes IMHO a lot of sense.

Best regards

春風疑不到天涯,二月山城未見花。
殘雪壓枝猶有桔,凍雷驚筍欲抽芽。
夜聞歸雁生鄉思,病入新年感物華。
曾是洛陽花下客,野芳雖晚不須嗟。
