It's a fairly uncomplicated function, other than keeping track of
whether we're trying to display literal text - e.g the two examples on
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath.html - and
your change looks sane enough to me, fwiw.

While we're on the subject of that page, it would be nice to do
something about the <pre> -> <p> spacing, as at least in Iceweasel here
there's a large gap after each of the gcc lines.
