Well, I see Jonas' point but I haven't encountered it yet in my
experience; and often repackaging happens after detecticting that
it's needed, in which case +dfsg seems more logical.

Yup, I was just the first that came to my mind.

Next guess:
Dpkg::Control::Hash - parse and manipulate a block of RFC822-like fields
(libdpkg-perl)
Let's try:
in d/copyright:
Files-Excluded: doc/a src/b
bin/c
test script:
#v+
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Dpkg::Control::Hash;
my $c = Dpkg::Control::Hash->new();
$c->load('debian/copyright');
my @excluded_files = split /\s/, $c->{'Files-Excluded'};
print "@excluded_files\n";
#v-
Output:
doc/a src/b bin/c
Cheers,
