Hi,

I think it would make more sense to exclude any "auto-generated" binary
packages rather than just packages named "-dbgsym".  This can be done by
using:

  $info->is_pkg_class('auto-generated')
  (Only applicable if $info is an instance of L::Collect::Binary)

Alternatively, perhaps we should only check this for source packages?

Thanks,
