this line will tell dpkg-source to ignore these files but they're
already ignored - pybuild removes them in clean target and dpkg-source
ignores deleted files.

I think Mathias is asking about how to tell git that it should ignore
these files as well. IMO you should ask upstream to not ship these files
in git repo/tarballs or remove them in the first commit after each merge
with upstream.
