It's not pristine-tar's job to filter out files from the tarball.
pristine-tar's job is to commit the exact same tarball given as
argument.

git-import-orig has a filter option and I expect that the filter
option filters effectively the tarball before giving it to
pristine-tar. Otherwise, I'll have a tarball in pristine-tar branch
having more files than what was committed in the upstream branch. I
don't think that this is the desired behavior.
