I dislike silencing cruft, as in my packaging development routines cruft 
is a sign of something potentially forgotten or gone wrong:

A normal packaging build and successive cleanup should leave no traces 
behind[1].

[1] Currently this is not always true when using patches and dpkg source 
format 3.0 (quit). That is a special case, however, which hopefully will 
be resolved upstream in dpkg-source and/or git-buildpackage.  Until then 
I personally work around it locally - I noticed that others hardcode 
workarounds in packaging. which I dislike but (until now) have silently 
ignored.
