To 100% clarify; this is because whilst the file exists in this example,
it should be "covered" by the "*" in "Files: *" below it?

I hate name arguments (!) but I think it's partly the names that are
making this harder than it "should" to understand. How about (at least
for now) "entry-does-not-match-any-files-in-package" for this last one
and (again, just for this discussion) "entry-covered-by-another-entry".

Terrible names, I know, but just to make the clarifications easier!
