I've used Files-Excluded to get rid of this and pushed.
BTW, your milleage might vary - sometimes upstream Git contains files
you do not want to have in your upstream source tarball. So I do not
consider it a problem to exclude some more files if we need to do that
anyway. Its a shame that some upstreams are just releasing their
tarballs with cruft - but that is orthogonal to the different Debian
packaging workflows.
Kind regards
Andreas.
