At the risk of side-tracking this, I'd like to point to #1106232l, where mk-origtargz currently, IMO, appears to apply Files-Included too broadly. Given: Files-Excluded: foo/* /baz* Files-Included: foo/bar* The Files-Included would also include a /baz/foo/bar, should it exist, even though /baz* is excluded. (This doesn't look like much of a problem in the example above, but substitute foo|bar|baz with more common patterns, like 'src' and 'c.*') So one would need to consider the Policy's stance on this: should the current (IMO buggy) behaviour be confirmed as Policy, or would the Policy mandate a change of this. It's entirely possible that this is by design, hence all the IMOs. Best, Christian
