[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#395480: pbuilder: pdebuild -i doesn't work

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.160
Severity: wishlist

When building with dpkg-buildpackage or debuild you can use the -i option to 
filter files out of the debian diff. You can use "-i" by itself which filters 
a known list of stuff or you can use "-i<regexp>" to filter based on a PCRE. 
This option gets passed through directly to dpkg-source.

pdebuild fails to behave like debuild and pass this option through. It appears 
that dpkg-source is called on line 109 of pbuilder-buildpackage and isn't 
passing options along. Could you enhance it to work as expected? Note that you 
need to handle both the "-i" and "-i<regexp>" cases. Also there are probably 
additional flags that debuild/dpkg-buildpackage pass through to dpkg-source, 
so maybe there's a generic solution to fix all of them?

Thanks,
