Hi, Doing a 'git add -A' when there's so much random stuff out there is not good to begin with. And there's always the option of running debclean before doing that; ie if the clean target knows about them. In any case, for building twice cases, the artifacts have to be cleaned up or it'll just cause an ftbfs. So being distracted by them and adding them to clean target properly is better than forgetting about them by putting them in gitignore. That's what I think anyway, YMMV.
