r2033: * Add --ignore option. This is intended to ease dealing with upstream
tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian
maintainer.
