Maybe there were such files in previous versions and newer versions
aren't indexed yet?

You might want to check whether such files where in previous versions of
that package (either checking testing or snapshot.debian.net). That can
also be a bug in the .install files or so in the source packages. Feel
free to contact the maintainer anyway, that could speed up your lookup,
instead of trying to figure out what's happening by yourself.
