Bug#824938: debsums no longer ignores dpkg-path-excluded files

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: debsums
Version: 2.1.2

$ debsums -c debsums
debsums: missing file /usr/share/man/de/man1/debsums.1.gz (from debsums package)
debsums: missing file /usr/share/man/de/man8/debsums_init.8.gz (from debsums package)
debsums: missing file /usr/share/man/es/man1/debsums.1.gz (from debsums package)
debsums: missing file /usr/share/man/es/man8/debsums_init.8.gz (from debsums package)
...

But I have excluded these paths in a dpkg configuration file:

$ grep man /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/local
path-exclude /usr/share/man/[a-z][a-z]/*
path-exclude /usr/share/man/[a-z][a-z].*/*
path-exclude /usr/share/man/[a-z][a-z]_*/*

debsums used to ignore disappearance of these files until recently.
I suspect that this dpkg change broke it:
