Let me reduce my confusion to its firstmost problem: How does your sed
process facilitate ``*I don't backup program binaries*''?
AFAIK, ${pkg}.list files -- _minus_ ${pkg}.exclude.list files -- define
which files comprise the ${pkg} package -- correct?
Once you eliminate all files under etc, /etc and ./etc from ${pkg}.list
files, what you have left is ``a bunch of binaries'' -- am I wrong?
Wouldn't you reach this same end if all files under etc, /etc and ./etc
were only listed in ${pkg}.exclude.list files?
Until I fully understand this premise of yours, I do not know how to
proceed . . .
