Package: pilot-link
Version: 0.11.8-17
Severity: normal

The --exclude option is so poorly documented that I had to look at the
source to figure out how it worked.  The exclude file must have one name
per line and the extension (e.g. .prc, .pdb) must be omitted.  Having
spaces in the name is okay.

Adding a sentence or two to the manual page should be enough fix this
bug, IMO.
