Some programs create temporary files, which would be included in the package if 
we don't exclude them. 
We also build packages from a live running system, otherwise we won't be able 
to save config changes.

No the problem is not with initial building packages but save the config 
changes in a running system. Because it all runs in RAM changes would get lost 
when you reboot or halt the system. So changes needs to get back-upped in the 
package. That's why we use both list and exclude.list files.
