Hi Andreas,
I also considered, but the information of what files are excluded when creating
the Debian source package is not relevant to upstream.
More simply, I think that if debian/watch would radically change its format to
YAML or the Debian control data file syntax, it would be a good place for the
Files-Excluded field. And it already contains the information about where the
upstream source is distributed, so for most packages, it would only take one
patch to Debhelper, one to the PTS and one to packages.debian.org to get the
information distribued to our users.
Cheers,
