Lintian tag: source-ships-excluded-file

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

A file specified in the Files-Excluded field in debian/copyright exists in
the source tree.

This might be a DFSG violation, the referenced files are probably not
attributed in debian/copyright, or the upstream tarball was simply not
repacked as intended. Alternatively, the field is simply out of date.

mk-origtargz(1) is typically responsible for removing such files. Support
in git-buildpackage is being tracked in Bug#812721.
