A feature to break the expected functionality? I would agree with you
*if* dpkg-source hadn't changed the semantics of -I in versions >=
v1.14.7.

But, the differences are there and using the parameter format for -I
that is acceptable on the host will cause pre v1.14.7 to break the
build.

The alternative would be to ignore the default -I behaviour in >=
v1.14.7 and always pass a file with the exclusion list regardless of
version. That requires the file be added to the package though (so it
can be picked up inside the pbuild).

The other alternative of removing all VCS files and folders from the
host source directory before a pdebuild so the -I option can be dropped
(and therefore the build succeed) isn't viable.
