 It is very common that VCS-specific files are thrown away when packaging
 for distributions as distributions may not use the same VCS as you.

 The Debian package does not run any tests when building, and while I'm
 only guessing, this is probably due to the requirement that the original
 `.gitignore` is kept around.
