Bugs Everywhere <URL:http://bugseverywhere.org/> is a distributed bug
tracking system that stores its data (by default) in a top-level
directory in the project tree, called '.be'.
This directory is about as much interest as the VCS directories found
in working trees: useful if one intends to collaborate with the
upstream developer's tools, but useless cruft otherwise. It should be
preserved in the tree, but not included in the Debian source package.
The attached patch (generated via 'git diff' against the dpkg source
repository) extends the list of directories ignored by both
'diff_ignore_default_regexp' and 'tar_default_ignore_pattern' to also
omit the '.be' directory when generating Debian source packages.
