To distribute my Ubuntu packages, I use debuild -Sto create the source package, and then upload it to the launchpad, which creates binary packages. It is very comfortable. However, I noticed that my source packages grow rapidly in size due to the fact that all my packages contain a directory .gitthat is included in all source packages.
How can I set the global parameter so that debuild / dpkg always skips any directories .gitwhen creating the source package?
