Hi Niels,

> a brace expansion requires a comma between the braces

So, the implementation actually matches a test case in the testsuite:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git/tree/t/tests/debhelper-brace-expansion/debian/debian/debhelper-brace-problem-6.install#n1

Whilst the testsuite could be wrong (!) I just thought it requires
double- checking. (Is this a dh_install vs. dh_link distinction…?)


Best wishes,
