Subject: r472:    * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol
 including spaces      and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals
 with splitting up      the string specified by -u, and it should not have
 applied to the set      of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all
 programs that      support a -- and options after it, do not require any
 special quoting      of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in
 whatever      program those options go to. So, for example,     
 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you     
 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do     
 something complex. Closes: #89311    * Made escape_shell output a lot better.
