On second thoughts, I realise you are correct here.

DEP-5 spec says; ...

"Both [wildcards] match slashes (/) and leading dots, unlike shell globs.
The pattern *.in therefore matches any file whose name ends in .in anywhere in 
the source tree,
not just at the top level."

With your example file
Files: a/*.c

would work with lrc as it stands.
But if there are multiple asterisks in the Files: field
lrc currently reverts to a shell glob.

Are you having issues with a particular package that I could look at?

Peter
