Like apo said, if you use git-buildpackage, then you don't really need
to worry about .gitignore  in the root of the project.  Also, when using
the standard git-buildpackage style like the android-tools team does,
modifications should only ever happen in the debian/ directory, never in
any of the 'upstream' folders.  Modifying the upstream source is done in
a patch, e.g. debian/patch/foo.patch.

I like adding debian/.gitignore since it makes it easier to commit with
a GUI client.
