I'm more concerned about what to do when it's *not* sufficient.
The tutorial assumes that everything is going to "just work",
and gives no advice on what to do if it doesn't. It doesn't
even hint that there *are* any things you can do.

The options reference mentions the --includes, --excludes and
--packages options, but the explanations are a bit thin.
What exactly is the difference between --includes and --packages?
And how are the specified? Pathname? Name in the module
namespace?

I was able to figure most of this out by trial and error,
but it would be more reassuring if it were spelled out in
the docs.
