Bug Description
I did a full backup. I then excluded a bunch of directories (like Firefox's cache) and did another backup. The "Backing up" screen showed each of these excluded directories in the details, which made me think that they were backed up regardless (looking at the log, this was likely because it was comparing "None" to something). Looking at the manifest, these directories were not actually backed up, but it would be great if the dialogue box could read "Skipping x" instead of just saying its name and leading to potential confusion (or, as in my case, reading through a mammoth debug log file!)

I seem to have a related problem. I backup my home and exclude several files or directories (e.g. .cache, .dbus etc.). But after a daily backup I get the message that Deja Dup could not open some files (.cache/dconf, .dbus, .gvfs).
Is there a way to fix this except to switch from black to white listing?
