Thank you!

Following the principle of uscan's files-excluded, I have a found an
export-ignore feature in .gitattributes which seems to be quite
straight-forward solution.

Interestingly when I try to use lintian locally on a temp package, it does
not say anything about the issues listed on the website:
https://lintian.debian.org/sources/misspell-fixer/0.3-1.html
Can I test my local package somehow?

I tried this way:
$ lintian misspell-fixer_0.4-1.dsc --verbose -i --pedantic -o
N: Using profile debian/main.
N: Starting on group misspell-fixer/0.4-1
N: Finished processing group misspell-fixer/0.4-1

Thank you!

Best regards,
Lajos
