Hmm, I suspect this means dpkg does not omit the excluded paths in "dpkg
-L" output. Could you verify that please?
If it's true, it means cruft will need to parse the dpkg.cfg options and
to do the filtering by itself :-/

This means a program/script will be necessary that will:
- on start, extract path-{in,ex}clude options from dpkg config files
- read paths on stdin and filter them according to those options before
writing on stdout
- cruft should filter "dpkg -L" output through that program
Patches are welcome! :-)
