Package: equivs
Version: 2.1.0.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have found that equivs-build generates a debian/install file that fails to
escape
characters such as { or } in filenames (e.g.
{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.xpi).
A really simple patch could be: (but not 100% sure of side effects, I havent
written
perl in a decade)

foreach my $target (keys %install_files, keys %create_files, keys
%create_links) {
$target =~ s/ +//g;
+ # escape filenames with {, }
+ $target =~ s/({|})/\\$1/g;
my $dest;
my $cnt = 0;
if ($target =~ m/^(preinst|postinst|prerm|postrm)$/) {
Not sure if there are other special chars to be escaped, but I was just hit by
this
bug.
Many thanks,
Juan
