# `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 Alternatively, the field is simply out of date.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.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `source-includes-file-in-files-excluded`
