fweimer-rh created an issue (rpm-software-management/rpm#3693)
In `glibc.spec`, we have considerable scripting logic to distribute files among
subpackages, see `split_sysroot_file_list`. It's way less involved than it used
to be, but with the right `%exclude` semantics, we could make this much clearer.
I see that #994 criticizes the current behavior. And indeed it would be more
general if some sequence of directives could add files matching a few patterns
to one subpackage file list, then remove some files matching different
patterns, and then add back a few exceptions that were removed before. With the
current unordered `%exclude`, that is not possible. And without documentation,
we don't really know if the current behavior is deemed permanent.
