Package: autopkgtest
Version: 5.16
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
If I have such a line in the d/tests/control
Test-Command: modprobe --verbose --set-version "$(for kernel in /boot/config-
*;
do echo ${kernel#*-}; done | tail -n1)" my_kernel_module
It will consider the command is only
modprobe --verbose --set-version "$(for kernel in /boot/config-*; do echo
${kernel
Everything after '#' is ignored, as stated in [1]
Would you provide a way to escape it? I don't know how though...
For example in debhelper [2] to escape a $, they suggest ${Dollar}. Or for a
new line, they would do ${Newline}. So maybe something similar, like ${Hash}
or
${NumberSign}. But the use of the dollar sign, wouldn't be very optimal since
it already has a meaning in shell.

For now, I put the command in a separate script called with "Command:"
