If there are leftover or modified files in that directory, we should
find this information already in the logs (and failures in the
sid-strict tests). I didn't see any obvious exclusion of that folder.
But I don't remember seeing something like that. Can you point me to a
package at hand that does this "wrong"? So I could take a look what
happens myself ...
