Ah, the problem is that lintian isn't smart enough to deal with quoted
strings.  I think the right thing to do here is to just bail if people use
quoted strings for the commands and assume they know what they're doing,
since more complex things may be going on than we can easily analyze.

I'll do this for the next release.
