So 4) is helpful for e.g. excluding upstream .gitignore files or upstream debian/ directories in git because they are annoying but this approach doesn't help for getting rid of files (with license problems or without source or whatever) in the tarball. In my experience Files-Excluded works quite fine by now in most cases. (And I have to admit that I don't know option 3) :)) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
