Hi,

I guess those are the signatures for extensions, in the way of being
mandatory.

> The binary file is causing dpkg-source to complain.

Never noticed any complains, so I’m not sure what you are referring to.

> I could override it in

> The other option is to add it to Files-Excluded: in debian/copyright.

Not sure any of those options is needed.

> I think it isn't included in the final binary .deb packages anyways.

I think it is, on the contrary. I removed them from some packages, but
stop bothering with those: I guess I’m waiting for things like #800150 to
settle, or for a proper handling by mozilla-devscripts.
