Unusual characters in filenames in Lintian's testset

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>]

Hi,

For Ubuntu, we'd like to be able to import Lintian into bzr.
Unfortunately, at the moment this fails because there are some unusual
characters in testset/filenames/files/:

  $ ls -l --quoting-style=c testset/filenames/files/
  total 16
  -rw-r--r-- 1 cjwatson cjwatson 89 2004-03-10 02:39 " .tif"
  -rw-r--r-- 1 cjwatson cjwatson 40 2004-03-10 02:39 "\".tif"
  -rw-r--r-- 1 cjwatson cjwatson 14 2004-03-10 02:39 "'\\ "
  -rw-r--r-- 1 cjwatson cjwatson 47 2004-03-10 02:39 "Maelstrom Sound"

bzr doesn't like the "\" character because it breaks checkouts on
Windows. (I'm not sure I agree with this decision, but that's a separate
conversation.)

Would anyone mind if, switching to my Lintian maintenance team hat, I
arranged for these to be created on the fly rather than in revision
control?

Thanks,
