Suppose I have two packages called X and Y. I want to make these

How do I do this?
Package exclusions are not currently supported, and as far as I know,
aren't planned.
Can you describe what the specific usage case is here or why you need
this functionality?
We have traditionally packaged two variants of the the QFS file system
code and its associated archiver/HSM (Hierarchical Storage Manager). The
sam-qfs package had SAM (the archiver/HAM) and QFS. The QFS package is
just QFS. SAM is tightly woven into QFS. While I'm sure it technically
feasible to separate the two, it is non-trivial and there are no plans
on our current road map to perform such a separation.
