This is an Eclipse configuration file. Nothing offending DFSG wise but I
use to remove them to tidy up the tarball.

I added the Files-Excluded field as I worked on the version 6.0, but I
postponed the upload of the new version and pushed an update of the
6.0~alpha version instead. That's why the content of the tarball doesn't
match the exclusions listed in debian/copyright yet.
