[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: elfdeps: Filter Python subdirectories (#1227)

[Panu Matilainen]

Problem is well known, but adding Python (or Perl, or whatever) specifics to elf.attr is not ok.
This needs something on the file classifier level.

Maybe some kind of anti-classifier directive or something. Thinking in the lines of, technically an ELF file is an ELF regardless of where it is on the filesystem, but if there was a way express "not elf" in Python/Perl/etc this would allow dealing with it more locally, *but* then everybody would need to roll their own version of handling the concrete ELF dependencies that are there regardless. There might be multiple cases for the "not foo" pattern, but it might also be too big a hammer for some/many of them.
