Comment 8 for bug 1086997

What I meant by saying that appendix D wasn't relevant was only that it doesn't say anything particularly helpful about the syntax of a Filename: field.

I agree that any attempt to modify 5.1 is pointless, and it's not any trouble in my particular case to simply conform more closely to the typical way of construction repos.

You should feel free to deal with this issue and related ones as you see fit. Obviously apt-get is only particularly well tested on Filename: values that are "pool/f/foo/foo..." in form, for the obvious reason: that's what everyone writes. And in my case, there was an independent bug *producing* the directories with spaces in them which I did not intend. So solving this bug is not necessary to addressing any operational difficulty I'm encountering; I reported it only because it seemed a risk for other cases more important than spaces in filenames.
