Dear Maintainer,

I do not find the syntax of the regex used by  Files-Excluded.

I suppose it is POSIX RE.

It should be documented if it is the case

If it is not PCRE could be possible to add a  Files-Excluded-PCRE field ? It
will greatly help to remove all directory except one
in case of JS monorep

Drive by remark, it uses the DEP-5 `Files` semantics (that is, not a
regex at all). For the use-case you have, I think you want to combine
`Files-Excluded` with `Files-Included`.

That was what I had for this bug.
No it is does not work:
- Files-Included is not documented
- Does not work with component

For components, use "Files-Excluded-componentname"

Files-Included-PCRE per component may be better I believe

Best regards,
Niels
