I'd find some kind of exclude file facility useful too.  In
gerris.install I use debian/tmp/usr/bin to install a bevy of
executables.  Saves listing them all by hand (there's about 16 of them).
But in the same bin dir there are two binaries which I do want to
exclude.  So it would be handy to be able to list the excluded files in
the same place as the installable ones.

Actually, from my point of view it makes sense to have the -X entries
listed inside the *.install file itself.  Then everything would be in
the same place, making maintenance easier.  I guess the excluded entries
would have to have a negation operator ('!', say) as the first character
on the line.
