* We'd like to make dpkg-source ignore certain filepath patterns while producing the .diff.gz as part of a Debian source package. The relationship between dpkg-source's -i and --extend-diff-ignore options is quite complicated[1]. It's thus not very convenient to specify file path patterns to ignore on dpkg-buildpackage's command line (they do not end up in the source package as well), so we turn `-i.git' into a record in debian/source/options. Besides, the dot in `-i.git' is a metacharacter and matches a tad too much. * In cases where a .config exists in the source tree, but the .config in the source tarball is provided by wherever KCONFIG_CONFIG pointed to, dpkg-source would attempt to replace the second, proper one with the first one, which is undesirable and nullifies the effort made to put the proper config in the source tarball. To prevent this, force dpkg-source to ignore /^[.]config$/ as well. This makes it possible to build working Debian source packages with a redefined KCONFIG_CONFIG: - that file is put in the source tarball at its traditional place, and the diff.gz does not dare touch it; - when the source package is rebuilt, debian/rules initiates the build process with the desired config already in the standard location.
