-    We need to ensure that each component of every file path to be copied is
-    present in the list.
-    This is because when copying the file contents using copyxattrfiles() any
-    intermediate path components which aren't explicitly specified will be
-    automatically created (instead of being copied) and thus end up with the
-    default permissions for newly created directories -- this will likely lead
-    to hash mismatches in the swupd Manifests and verification failures.
-    We also take the step of removing a leading / from the path, as required
