Besides trying to avoid duplication, the main reason why we exclude
the cache/ directory from the upstream tarball is (quoting from
debian/copyright in our source package):

| Files-Excluded: lib/JSON/Validator/cache
| Comment: The +dfsg version is created by removing the cache files from the
|  lib/JSON/Validator directory, where the license is unknown.

This can be reconsidered if we have copyright+license information for
all files under
https://metacpan.org/release/JHTHORSEN/JSON-Validator-5.14/source/lib/JSON/Validator/cache/


Cheers,
