For the convenience of the developers of devscript, I am attaching below 
a patch generated with git format-patch that contains an appropriate log 
message.  I cherry-picked the commits made by Andreas Tille and Gregor 
Herrmann into the Andreas' repo, which concern only the implementation of 
the Files-Excluded feature.  I did also some improvements on my own. his 
patch works for me on the praat package, but was not extensively tested. 
At any rate, this "slim" patch introduces a single feature, namely the 
possibility of excluding files from upstream tarballs according to 
information in debain/copyright.

If I had push access to the devscripts repository, I could create a 
side branch there with this patch.

Best,

Rafael
