It seems to be there in both debian-old and debian-next branch of live-boot git repository. Maybe you use somthing like konqueror for reading manpages?

So it is correct that you get this behaviour. > I tried to make a snapshot with the default "/live/cow", but exclude a few > things (/var/log) using live-persistence.binds/live-snapshot.exclude_list. > However, in this case I end up with an empty live-sn.cpio.gz. Is > live-snapshot.list required in order to > use live-persistence.binds/live-snapshot.exclude_list? No, it should not. If live-snapshot.list does not exist it creates a list of all files in /cow. The bug (please open one n the BTS) is that in this case your exclude lists needs to have relative paths. Thanking for spotting it.
