Hi
Generally the diff ought not to include ".gitmodules" in the first place
if you did not intend for it (and the 7 other files) to be there.
Most likely dpkg-source/dpkg-buildpackage with -i is not enough in
this case. I believe [1] would solve your issue; maybe with a wishlist
bug against dpkg-dev asking for the vcs-related files to be ignored by
default.
Note: you should generally only ignore the files that are vcs-related or
auto-generated files, so please review the changes to files if they are
not clearly related to git (etc.). If you deliberately modified one of
upstreams files, you should not ignore/filter that change.
