I don't believe this is an error. The Files-Excluded field is currently
not specified by the machine-readable copyright specification (this is
bug #685506), but at least the mk-origtargz manual page specifies that
this should be what the spec calls 'formatted text', i.e. the current
syntax should be valid:

This was intentional.

Those files have no copyright information, but they are so small
they're probably not copyrightable. There s no copyright status to
associate with them, so it's better that the copyright file say nothing
at all with respect to them.

In my opinion this is a bug that could be fixed in Lintian. If you're
not aware, the Expat license is a specific version of what's commonly
known as the MIT license. The SPDX identifier (and hence the identifier
used in the AppStream file) is MIT, although the Debian machine-
readable copyright specification requests that one refer to the Expat
license when that license is applicable.

Basically, the copyright file referring to the Expat license is
consistent with the AppStream metadata proclaiming that it is subject
to the MIT license.

If you're referring to
Hunk #1 succeeded at 43 (offset -1 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 55 (offset -1 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 99 (offset -1 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 113 (offset -1 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 151 (offset -1 lines).
then I believe this is normal, although refreshing the patches upstream
shouldn't hurt.
