# `files-excluded-without-copyright-format-1.0`

The `Files-Excluded` field in `debian/copyright` is used to exclude files from upstream source packages such as when they violate the Debian Free Software Guidelines

However, this field will be ignored by uscan(1) if the `copyright` file is not declared as following the `1.0` format.

Please ensure your `debian/copyright` file starts with the following line:

    Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
