Didn't know the name for _darcs. Would it be possible to get a list from
dpkg?

That would work for .hg. Don't know about the other VCSes.
ls .hg/store/data/upstream/src/pmi/smpd/autom4te.cache
output.0.i requests.i traces.0.i
But not for quilt as it creates .pc/<patch name>/<path>/<file>. But it
might be ok to require there are no stupid files in the patch series.
As a sidenode would -X.pc/ skip that dir?
