To fix this, we have two options:
1. Have dgit conditionally pass these options based on the source
format. That risks breakage with new source formats but such
things are not very likely and would be a big deal anyway.
2. Refer #1123661 to the Technical Committee.
(Unless you think it's worth asking Guillem again, but I think
there are no arguments we could make that I didn't already make
and were rejected.)
I am still firmly of the opinion that the dpkg-source behaviour here
is wrong. By referring the bug to the TC we would be doing everyone
who needs to use dpkg-source a service (assuming the TC would agree
with us).
But any such fix would take years to reach deployment so we might want
to do 1 as well.

This is going to be even worse.
