From here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#files-field

"Multiple Files paragraphs are allowed. The last paragraph that matches
a particular file applies to it. More general paragraphs should
therefore be given first, followed by more specific overrides."

So your 'Files: *' paragraph overrides the 'Files: debian/*' paragraph.
Moving the 'Files: debian/*' paragraph to the bottom should fix it.
