The problem is that I *can't* specify additional '-i' arguments to
'dpkg-source'; the man page explains “There can only be one active
regexp, of multiple -i options only the last one will take effect.”
I'd love to be able to tell 'dpkg-source' to ignore an *extra* file
glob in addition to what it normally ignores, but that's not
supported. So, rather than replace the default massive regular
expression with a slightly-more-massive fragile regular expression, I
wait for the default to be updated. (The patch is accepted, but is
pending release.)
If you're interested in the 'bugs-everywhere' packaging work to date
(would you like to sponsor my upload?), you can get it from VCS with::
$ bzr branch bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/collab-maint/bugs-everywhere/be.debian/
