source-ships-excluded-file
A file specified in the Files-Excluded field in
debian/copyright exists in the source tree.
This might be a DFSG violation, the referenced files are probably not
attributed in debian/copyright, or the upstream tarball was simply
not repacked as intended. Alternatively, the field is simply out of date.
mk-origtargz(1) is typically responsible for removing such files. Support
in git-buildpackage is being tracked in Bug#812721.
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the
2.114.0
release tag in our Git
repository.
You can find the detection logic for this version at commit d219a5a. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check debian/copyright/dep5.
