The developer might drop in debian/ (or in ./ in the case of a native
package) any kind of file and that would be packed up by dpkg-source -b.

Very simply those files could be .orig and .reject from patch(1).  Or
debian/files :P  (I think that would be generated by
`dpkg-buildpackage -S -nc -d` (and -d is implied by the combination of
-nc and -d)).

You can find a very simple example in pbuilder itself, look at the
source package before I start maintaining it, you'll find very weird
test files left there by dancer that were not part of the git
repository and didn't really had any role within the package.
