This is "normal" when excluding files that can't be uploaded to Debian,
maybe this should be yellow instead of red?

It means that the exclusion of such files is not properly automated in
debian/watch or debian/copyright, but instead done manually(?)
7zip also makes a good example of how this can be automated:
<https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/7/7zip/copyright-25.01dfsg-1deb13u1>
has "Files-Excluded: CPP/7zip/Compress/Rar*", which is both
documentation of what was done to the upstream tarball to arrive at the
+dfsg tarball, and a machine-readable instruction for uscan to do it
again next time a new upstream version is imported.
