The vendor.json is an autogenerated file that keeps versions (commit
hashes and dates) of every vendored dependency. I usually keep it around
for reference, as it is very useful when things break. I really don't
see much the point of removing it, or making a very complicated
files-excluded field. Also, how can it be a DFSG violation?
