The new field Files-Excluded in debian/copyright contains a space
separated list of globs (as used by find and for specifying file lists
in machine readable debian/control files). The deletion process will
loop over every expression
rm -rf ${MAIN_SOURCE_DIR}/<expression>
So wildcards in the Files-Excluded field would have different semantics than in the Files field. That's confusing.
