Currently, it's possible to specify:
blacklist ${HOME}/.ssh

However, it's not possible to specify:
include ${HOME}/.config/firejail/disable-mgmt.inc
or (for a file in the same directory as the one doing the include):
include disable-mgmt.inc

Use case: I have all my dotfiles stored in git, and I use GNU Stow to deploy these on systems I use. eg.

~$ cd .dotfiles
~/.dotfiles$ git pull
~/.dotfiles$ stow firejail

I would rather not have my full home directory path hard-coded so I can deploy these same profiles to systems where my home directory is in a different location.
