Hi, Here's a patch that I think makes sense for this.
It re-uses the separator that was parsed out of the line when reconstructing it, rather than analysing the regex used to split to get something equivalent. I'm not really sure why it is re-writing these values when they are unchanged, or at all for this operation really, but I don't want to dig in to that. This should avoid this problem in most cases that I can think of. My testing was to verify the bug in the old package by creating a new user, then deleting the new user, restoring the file, installing the fixed package and repeating the steps and then confirming that there was the original spacing in the file.
