It is possible via the indirection below. In compat 13, you can use substitution variables[1] via the .docs file would enable you to support this use-case ("doc/Subprocess${Space}debugging.md"), which is the level of support I expect there will ever be for filenames with spaces in debhelper. Closing as already supported (even if awkward) Thanks, ~Niels [1] Be sure *not* to have dh-exec process them as it will process them too early.
