Bug#884848: lintian: false positive for source-includes-file-in-files-excluded
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.62
Severity: important
Dear lintian maintainers,
on the package idlastro (2017.08.02+dfsg-1 and just-uploaded
2017.12.18+dfsg-1), lintian shows the error
E: idlastro source: source-includes-file-in-files-excluded pro/ymd2dn.pro
However, the orig.tar.gz (to which File-Excluded refers to) does not
contain the mentioned file. A file with the same name (replacing the
removed, non-DFSG file with free content) is however re-introduced with
a patch.
Best regards
Ole
