Before I go ahead, I'd like to confirm the opinion of release managers
about this minor issue: Currently, the only file which fully reflects
the version number, including the point release, is /etc/debian_version.
(i.e. it will become "7.0.1", while issue{.net} would still be "7.0")

Q1. Do we still want to exclude /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net?
Q2. There is a new file containing the version number, namely, /etc/os-release.
Do we want to exclude it as well, as we usually do with issue and issue.net?

[ I don't have a strong preference about this, will be happy to
  implement whatever release managers see it is appropriate ].

Thanks.
