My current guess on how this slips through is that files that are marked as
excluded are still being passed to check-files, so it passes the check-files
check. But my attempts at trying to make it _not_ do that seem to be in vain...
:/
I at least have a test case to see if I fixed it, but so
The spirit of %exclude always was merely to support sub-packaging, not for
leaving random junk in buildroot. But where even the tiniest crack exists, just
like water will find its way, so will packagers :smile:

I am predicting this will break multiple packages in Fedora, but I think this
would be good behavior.

As part of some of the work I've done in OpenMandriva in transitioning the RPM
stack from rpm5.org to rpm.org RPM, I've discovered that there was an

In rpm5.org RPM, `%exclude` does not give you a "get out of jail free" card to
