Suggested DEP5 enhancement: Files-Excluded

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I was redirected by Lars Wirzenius to discuss this on debian-policy
list.  Please add me in CC since I'm not subscribed.

I have proposed a new field Files-Excluded here:

   https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements

On this Wiki page I have given a summary of the discussion on
debian-devel mailing list and the according bug report #685787.  Since
devscripts maintainers included the according patch that regards
Files-Excluded in uscan I think it might make sense to mention this
field in Debian policy.

While I initially assumed that it also should be included in

   http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

Lars advised me that this will not happen because only fixes will
be accepted.  That's fine for me.

What do you think?

Kind regards and thanks for your work on Debian policy

     Andreas.
