Re: +dfsg extension with Files-Excluded: in d/copyright



* Ole Streicher <olebole@debian.org>, 2015-09-01, 11:51:
when using the Files-Excluded: tag in debian/copyright, in the past there was an "+dfsg" suffix added to the version number automatically. This seems to have changed; is there a reason for that? Is there any case to use Files-Excluded: *without* actually adding the suffix?

See #748465. Some people abuse debian/copyright for excluding files for reasons unrelated to DFSG...

My recommendation is to never use Files-Excluded. It's a broken design.
