[oe] [RFC] unpackaged files

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Dear all,

Currently one gets a NOTE if a file is installed but not packaged.
However in larger builds this often gets lost.
Then again a file installed but not packaged is probably an error.

To make things easier trappable and resolvable, I would propose the following:
- an option (in due time to be made mandatory) to turn the NOTE into an error
- a way to indicate that a file is installed but purposedly not
packaged (e.g. I have such a thing in mythtv with a README file)
This could be by creating a pseudo-package (like -unused or -ignore)
which can be used to add files that are explicitly not packaged

How do people feel about this?
(and, if desired, is there someone who can implement this, guess this
is outside my python skills).

Best regards, Frans
