Why do the generated makefiles and ninja files cause this problem? Are
they packaged too? I grant that the export header one makes sense, but
the others not as much (and certainly not the Qt IFW file since I would
be surprised to see a Linux distro using it).
In any case, such information would be nice to have in the commit
message.
Thanks,
