This has come up before, and actually led to the introduction of
'checkout -p' and 'reset -p':

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/123854

That is a blast from the past.

Why is saying "git checkout ." too much work, after "add -p" that
you excluded the debugging cruft?

Please forget this question.  A better way in the form of "stash -p"
was suggested in the old thread to get rid of debug cruft in the
tree before an "add -p" session (or during a series of "add -p"
sessions).

So is this still an issue?
