%exclude is global per spec file, or else you would need to %exclude
a file in _all_ subpackages (in the case when deleting it in %install
would be more convenient anyway). That would cause some pain in some
packages.
That's interesting. I wouldn't have expected that either. My guess would have
been that %excludes would have been developed specifically for making it
convenient to exclude a directory in the main package that needs to be owned
by a subpackage.
Thanks for the explanations of why things are the way they are. It is still
surprising though.
