Bug#685506: copyright-format: new Files-Excluded field



* Thibaut Paumard <thibaut@debian.org>, 2013-01-16, 14:23:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/y/yorick-optimpack/yorick-optimpack_1.3.1+dfsg1-1/yorick-optimpack.copyright

Of course this goes together with the idea of documenting the rationale behind removing a file.

As exemplified, the Rationale would have a short and a long escription. The short description should be standardized with a few typical values:
Not DFSG
Big but not used
other
purely for statistical purposes. Not sure whether that's useful.

What would "Big but not used" be doing in a _copyright_ file?!

I hope this makes everybody realise that debian/copyright is a very bad place for repack instructions.
