Package: backintime-common
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The exclude-Option doesn't always have the expected effect, e.g. it
contains the expression "*/temp/*" as default. Nevertheless, backintime
backs
up the path "/usr/import/store".
After manually adding the expression "/usr/import/store" in the
exclude-option the path is omitted, as intended.

I totally agree with Cobra. "*/temp*/" would lead to missing content.
But whatsoever, "*/temp/*" is not in default exclude any more...
