Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Severity: wishlist The source-includes-file-in-files-excluded error should be made smarter. I have a javascript package where most of the upstream tarball is garbage, so d/copyright reads: Files-Excluded: * Files-Included: very short list and that makes lintian go postal. It really should filter out the errors for files which have been excluded then included. Cheers, J.Puydt
