Indeed - personal style to chose. From experience, I use explicit lists when it's about a lot of plugin-style files that get auto-enabled based on deps. Like this, I see when a dep goes missing: the build fails.
I used to prefer wildcards but then the build of one binary failed unnoticed and we released the package it's part of. Subsequently a bug report was opened when a user noticed the omission. After that I changed to explicitely list the files in my packages.
Thanks for sharing this Philipp, It confirms that what is often perceived as 'less work' can turn out as more work/frustration later on when you have to chase a bug that could have been avoided. It's a trade-off the packager has to chose - and live with the consequences.
