While trying to prepare a MR to fix bug #1029843, I encountered a
failure which seems to be `gencontrol.py`'s inability to deal with
spaces and/or backslashes (used to escape the spaces).
$ debian/rules debian/control-real
mkdir -p debian/build
printf >debian/build/version-info 'Source: %s\nVersion: %s\n' firmware-nonfree

./copy-firmware.sh debian/build/install
debian/bin/gencontrol.py /usr/src/linux-support-6.1.0-8

make: *** [debian/rules:53: debian/control-real] Error 1
The upstream WHENCE file contains these lines:
Link: brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.Raspberry\ Pi\ Foundation-Raspberry\ Pi\ 4\
Model\ B.txt -> brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt

Removing the `\`, but keeping the spaces, resulted in a similar error:

So AFAICT this means that firmware files or links with spaces in them
can not be added to the Debian packages.
I'm guessing this was the reason that the non-CM link was added, but
then removed again before the upload (but there's still an entry about
it in `debian/changelog`.
See commits 53779c7b6131a541 and b42c40616208270a.
