Hi Simon, DEP5, like RFC822, will never change anymore, but of course the format can evolve in other documents like the copyright-format specification in the Policy, as you pointed above. It was first discussed in #685506 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685506 There is a duplicate in #1000771 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1000771 and the one you just opened https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1131015 Otto, you wonder in #1131015 why Files-Excluded was left out the standard, it is just because it matured after the standard was accepted. On my side, I would now welcome Files-Included to be specified in the standard.
