karma.conf.js being treated as entrypoint results in many errors from webpack 5

karma-webpack does not seem to respect the exclude section of the karma config. though I find i can kind of trick it to not being included by setting files as follows files: ['**/!(karma.conf).js'],
this resolves the immediate issue, but i think karma-webpack not be including the config file as an entrypoint

karma itself always lists the config file in the exclusion list which you can see when passing --log-level debug to karma
(in the example below i have not defined exclude but it's there)
