Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ureadahead

Looking at the dump of my pack file, I see many log files listed.
These files are constantly changing so it doesn't make much sense to store 
their information in the pack file.
The files are more likely stored in more distant locations of the filesystem, 
which could increase unwanted head movement.
Also since they get rotated more frequently than the pack file is updated, the 
trace information will be invalid anyway.

Solution: add /var/log to the list of ignored paths (trace.c:ignore_path)
        if (! strncmp (pathname, "/var/log/", 9))
                return TRUE;
