I tested now with 1.14.x just to confirm my suspicion, and there it
does not work either, so I don't really see how this has ever worked
for you. Lowering to wishlist.

The problem is that this is slightly more involved, as the problem
comes from the --exclude option being passed to tar. I'm now reworking
the code to overcome this limitation. But you'll need to workaround it
on older dpkg-source, by for example resetting the tar-ignore option
and removing -I*.so from it, because this is only going to get fixed
in the 1.17.x series.
