There may also be old branches affected as well

$ git checkout remotes/pkg/ubuntu/xenial-security -b xenial-security
Branch 'xenial-security' set up to track remote branch 'ubuntu/xenial-security' from 'pkg' by rebasing.
Switched to a new branch 'xenial-security'

WARNING: empty directories exist but are not tracked by git:

crypto/des/t
include

These will silently disappear on commit, causing extraneous
unintended changes. See: LP: #1687057.
