The current proposal for DEP 5 has this snippet for the 'Files' field. "List of space-separated globbing pathnames (see man 7 glob for more details) indicating files that have the same licence and share copyright holders."
This doesn't take into account files or directories that may be named with spaces. I suggest that the Files field use a comma-separated list of globbing pathnames instead, else something ugly like 'path/with some spaces/'* would have to be used. -- Regards, Andres
