I wanted to run logcheck on my centralized logging server, to which
syslog messages are sent.  Further, I wanted to see this with the
logcheck exclusions provided by individual packages.  To this end, I
fetched the relevant packages and from them tried to extract the
etc/logcheck parts, e.g.

    $ rm -rf target
    $ aptitude download postgrey
    Get:1 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/debian/ unstable/main postgrey all 
1.32-6.1 [59.3 kB]
    Fetched 59.3 kB in 0s (0 B/s)
    $ dpkg -x --path-exclude=* --path-include=/etc/logcheck/* 
postgrey_1.32-6.1_all.deb target/
    $ find target -type f
    target/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/postgrey

    target/usr/bin/postgreyreport

I don't want dpkg to waste CPU and I/O extracting the other files.
