[Bug 1627595] [NEW] Can't drop privileges Apt bug is not fetching full code of Nginx

[Abhishek Ghosh]

Public bug reported:

`apt-get source nginx` may not fetch all the files. It may confuse human
while recompiling. Notice is officially present for fetching from git,
still some users may get confused. They probably need to run `ls` to
check stuffs.
