Different options.

-e tells the build tool even to downgrade dependent packages when that's
   in the repository.
-E excludes packages from the calculations.

Yes.

Apparently the -E option is broken because the getopts string is broken
in build.pl. It should read:

my $getopts = 'R:r:f:uUaAzZP:N:E:H:iD:p:qsSXMLWKebBg';

The colon after the E was missing.
