OK, I see now that they work about the same way. And I guess that our install could be changed to handle one central device_table file instead of one metafile per dir also. But the ability to ignore files comes in handy, at least for us as we install tons of libs in /lib (sometimes we use glibc...) and decide which should actually go in the final image after all applications have been installed.
