There are exception lists in pkgdefs/etc, for things that are placed
in the proto area but not shipped, just as in ON. protocmp won't
complain about files in there, but if you don't touch it (as you
genrally shouldn't) it won't affect you. And if you're touching it
you need to really think about it because you're probably doing something
wrong, and may end up creating packaging problems for yourself if
you are.
I don't know what other file list you'd be looking for. Could
you point me at the ON one you're thinking of so I might remember?
Note that the pkgdefs exceptions aren't so you can leave random things
there forever because you don't want to delete them from the proto area,
it's for things that need to be there for other components but we can't
ship them (like readline, or wxwidgets).
