Currently, each package specification may have the form

           ("foo"       :url "https://git.host/path/to/repo";
            :ignored-files ("Makefile" "baz.el"))

           ("baz"       :url "https://git.host/path/to/repo";
            :ignored-files ("Makefile" "foo.el"))

where I assume that the repository consists of the files foo.el, baz.el
and Makefile, and you would want to distribute two separate packages.
What I was thinking of was to add a keyword like :files to explicitly
list what files are added to a package:

           ("foo"       :url "https://git.host/path/to/repo";
            :files ("foo.el"))

           ("baz"       :url "https://git.host/path/to/repo";
            :files ("baz.el"))
