+Subject: Put build artifacts in `debian/build/` to avoid polluting upstream
+ sources
+
+Instead of putting build artifacts in `_build/` at the project root,
+where they pollute the upstream sources and lure some people to also
+modify the upstream `.gitignore` file, put it in `debian/build/` along
+with all other build artifacts that get generated in `debian/`.

+Subject: Stop modifying upstream .gitignore file
+
+The fact that Debian builds produce extra files in the build directory
+is a separate concern and should not be managed by .gitignores in upstream
+directory. Anyways, the list is not going to be complete on most packages,
+and instead of extending the list, a better practice is to have proper
+`make clean` rules in the `debian/rules`, or to simply run `git clean -fdx`
+between builds. Additionally, everyone should be using `gbp pq` to update
+patches instead of legacy Quilt, so no more `.pc` directories should be
+generated.
