DEP 5 and directory/file names with spaces
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.
