when using 'git archive' to export a repository into an archive (e.g. as is done by github/gitlab to create release-tarballs), we don't really want to export any repository configuration (e.g. .gitignore), as this interacts badly with downstream importing the release-tarball into their own repositories. e.g. Debian (for the Debian packages) uses their own git-repository for the packaging. having debian/ ignored there is rather pointless.
