Hi Andreas,
I think that the introduction of new fields would be under the scope of a
version update of the copyright format. The Policy bug for adding
Files-Excluded is actually there already.
http://bugs.debian.org/685506
Ideally, such a version update would come with a systematic review of all
the other bugs related having "copyright-format" in their subject, and a
survey of the other extra fields currently in use would be neat as well.
However, if this does not happen because nobody has time to do the work, I
personally would be fine with a 1.1 update that only contains the
Files-Excluded addition. This field was not my favorite solution to the
problem, but experience showed that your solution was implemented, used,
and unchallenged.
Have a nice day, and thanks for your perseverance.
