Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: wishlist

The source-includes-file-in-files-excluded error should be made
smarter. I have a javascript package where most of the upstream tarball
is garbage, so d/copyright reads:

Files-Excluded: *
Files-Included: very short list

and that makes lintian go postal.

It really should filter out the errors for files which have been
excluded then included.

Cheers,

J.Puydt
