No, EXCLUDE is only consulted for install-set, upgrading, and dist-upgrading. If you specify the package name as an argument to –install, slapt-get will ignore the EXCLUDE list. This does not apply to dependencies. If a dependency of a specified package is detected, it is checked against the EXCLUDE list. If excluded, the dependency check for the specified package fails. Override this with –ignore-dep (to ignore dependency failures).
