Besides the suggestion of Jonas which I like in principle and would be
the easiest way to implemet it came to my mind that we could be free to
ignore everything past '#' to make these strings valid:
Files-Excluded:
# ignore copy of lua
lua_5.1.4/
sqlite3.* # we use Debian's own sqlite
# The dada files are that long that there is no point in leaving
# them so the complete directory is removed
data/samples/
*.pdf # We do not have the source of the pdfs
I have some preference for Jonas' suggestion using
Files-Excluded-Comment because it looks cleaner - but both should
solve your problem.
Kind regards
Andreas.
