Thinking about it some...

Ok, I think it all depends on where the exclude is encountered.  If an
exclude is encountered at a repo declaration line, that should be passed
into the yum object like pungi is doing.  But if the exclude (or -foo)
is encountered in %packages, it should be treated differently, it should
be treated the same way they would be treated should the kickstart file
be used with anaconda to perform an install.  That is the way that
livecd-tools is doing it, so that things with - signs could still get
pulled in if they are needed to resolve deps of other things selected.

Obviously I have a bug in pungi with this, I'll be looking into it.
