Package: devscripts Version: 2.17.9 Severity: normal Hi,
While updating plexus-archiver I noticed that uscan filters more files than expected. The watch file is: version=3 opts=uversionmangle=s{-alpha-}{~alpha} \ https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver/tags .*/plexus-archiver-(.*).tar.gz The file downloaded is: https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-archiver/archive/plexus-archiver-3.5.tar.gz And debian/copyright contains: Files-Excluded: jira In this case the file plexus-archiver-plexus-archiver-3.5/src/test/resources/zeroFileMode/foobar.zip and a few others are removed from the tarball. It doesn't happen if the Files-Excluded field is removed.
