package: dpkg version: 1.17.27 In the manpage for dpkg, there is an example for path-exclude/path-include:
== --path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/* --path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright == These 2 patterns will end up skipping packages that have /usr/share/doc/$foo as a symlink to another package. Which means things like perl-base, libstdc++6, libgcc1, etc, which have their docs symlinked to another package from the same source, will be broken, as the copyright for the package is not available at /usr/share/doc/$pkg/copyright, as *required* by policy. Perhaps --path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*/*, with the same include, might be better.
