Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.18
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-source

A .git.tar.gz resulting from dpkg-source -b will contain a lot of stuff
that are not really or necessarily meant to be distributed:
- gitk.cache
- unpacked objects
- remotes
- stash
- ORIG_HEAD
- FETCH_HEAD
- COMMIT_EDITMSG
- config

It would be best to eliminate most of this by first cloning the repo,
eliminate remotes, and gc --prune before creating the tarball.
