I would not suggest anybody to do it this way and I explicitely enforce sponsees to add the "Files: debian/*" section even if they are upstream just to make things very explicite and clear. But if I have nothing explicite I need to assume something and finally a definition Files: * does also match Files: debian/* so what else should it mean if somebody leaves out the latter? Perhaps we should state this explicitely at http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ to give people a warning about this?
