You've got it the wrong way round there: -i filters diffs, -I filters tars. > I comtemplated switching to non-native for that reason but having to > pass -iCVS to each source build is not convenient and error prone. If you're using debuild, then set the DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS variable in ~/.devscripts to whatever set of options you usually pass. Mine ends with "-ICVS -I.svn -uc -us".
