My intuition (I admit that I haven't done a survey) is that Files-Excluded
is less frequently used for cases where upstream has not done license
verification and is more frequently used for cases where upstream
disagrees with Debian over what is and is not free software. (IETF RFCs
are a sadly common example.)
