Purpose of Files-Excluded in debian/copyright is to indicate files that 
has been removed in our redistribution by repacking upstream source.

Therefore I do not follow what you mean by emphasizing not repacking.  
What would be the point of telling something has been removed without 
then actually removing?

This content in debian/gbp.conf ignores all .git files anywhere:

[DEFAULT]
filter = */.git*
