Would this simple solutionwork ?
'best_rtc' behave here like a virtual file that is never seen in output .deb's

    rott-registered-data:
       type: full
       install:
       - best_rtc

files:
  best_rtc:
    alternatives:
    - rottcd.rtc
    - rottsite.rtc
    - darkwar.rtc

  rottcd.rtc:
    size: 1234
    look_for: rottcd.rtc
    install_as: rottcd.rtc
  rottsite.rtc:
    size: 1234
    look_for: rottsite.rtc
