Thank you useful pointer (to long discussion). I got a bit lost in there. What is needed to finally have this field (the version that has been implemented) documented in the copyright file format doc? I don't actually know where http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ comes from. Is it part of policy and thus a patch aginst debian-policy is needed? > The short version being, Files-Excluded has the same syntax as Files. Yes, but has to be in the header paragraph, not the Files paragraph, and there can only be one of it (two in the header is a syntax error, one in header and more in other paras: the others get ignored). But yes these 4 lines is about all that is needed. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
