That part is in #874663. It's in uscan's manpage:
Files-Excluded or Files-Excluded-component stanzas are set in
debian/copyright to make mk-origtargz invoked from uscan
remove files from the upstream tarball and repack it.
See "COPYRIGHT FILE EXAMPLES" and mk-origtargz(1).
So if there's a Files-Excluded* in debian/copyright the upstream tarball
was filtered.
