Package: lintian Severity: wishlist thanks After a quick chat on IRC, zhsj noted that the issue in #871448 is present because the uploader didn't use uscan to download the orig.tar.gz, which means that the Files-Excluded line was never used, and Excluded files were present in the orig.tar.gz.
It'd be super snazzy if lintian were to throw an error if any of the Files-Excluded globs hit a file in the orig.tar.gz, with a severity of error. Hopefully this would have alerted the uploader, and caused them to re-download the tarball. Thanks for working on Lintian! -- :wq
