Not sure what you mean by "covered", but to me it's because the next
paragarph overrides this one.

Not sure where you are heading here… As I suspect you know (☺) I'm not
interested in naming things.
To make it simple: this last paragraph should eming **only one tag**
saying the file doesn't match any file from the source package.

"entry-coverd-by-another-entry" is probably wrong on many level,
starting by anything else after the 'Files: *', as they would all
"duplicate" a file already covered by the * !! ;)
