For whoever is going to write it, remember to talk about:
* Files-Excluded-$component
* Files-Included
which are even less-known bits of the "specification" (Files-Included is
also *very* new, in Debian times).

few packages are going to make use of this
facility in the near future so it shouldn't really matter IMHO.
