I believe dpkg-source defaults to the equivalent of `dpkg-source -I`
for 3.0 (native) format packages, which ignores some files that would
normally appear in git, notably .gitignore.
I normally use
DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-us -uc -I.*.sw? -I.sw? -I.git" which
disables the default `-I` and instead excludes .git but not .gitignore,
making the uploaded source package exactly equivalent to what's in git
(and as a result, more dgit-friendly). If you would prefer any subsequent
uploads of d-i-related components to always exclude the .gitignore,
I'll try to remember that for the future.
