In November 2020, devscripts 2.20.5 added a new field 'Files-Included'
to DEP-5 copyright processing:
[ Reinhard Tartler ]
* mk-origtargz:
+ Support a new field Files-Included in d/copyright to include files
excluded by a previous Files-Excluded. This is useful, for example, to
include a specific vendored lib while excluding the whole vendor/
directory. Closes: #829646; MR: !189
The field is not yet mentioned in the DEP-5 specification [1] or in
policy (although to be fair neither is its more popular sibling,
Files-Excluded). The field should be implemented in Lintian's check
debian/copyright/dep-5. That will make the erroneous hints disappear.
Kind regards
