Looking closer, it seems that only the internal storage of the options
changed, not the API.

I also have a system with some path-exclude rules (via localepurge),
but I can't reproduce it:

~ → fgrep path-exclude /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/50localepurge
# and say no to/disable the "Use dpkg --path-exclude" option.
#   --path-exclude options.
path-exclude=/usr/share/locale/*
path-exclude=/usr/share/gnome/help/*/*
path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/*/*
path-exclude=/usr/share/omf/*/*-*.emf
path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*
~ → ls -l /usr/share/locale/gl
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 18  2013 LC_MESSAGES/
~ → find /usr/share/locale/gl -type f
~ → dpkg -S /usr/share/locale/gl 
[…], glipper, […]
~ → debsums -c glipper
~ →
