So you are saying it's better to break pdebuild parameter option
semantics just for backports, which isn't nice.
At least, a documentation that says:
pdebuild --debbuildopts
no longer works, but you need to specify:
pdebuild --debbuildopts 'for outside chroot' -- --debbuildopts 'for
inside chroot'
I'm fine with documentation fix accompanying the patch; and a warning.
It doesn't give any benefit for sid on sid users.

No, -I takes a list of file patterns, it won't require extra file, so
it shoud not be much of a problem to require explicitly passing -I.git
-ICVS etc.
