This seems to be a bug in uscan: it uses
system("unzip -q -d $tempdir $destdir/$newfile_base; GZIP=-9 tar -C $tempdir
-czf $destdir/$newfile_base_gz .") == 0
to call unzip. As this involves a shell, it breaks if any of the
variables contains whitespace (or other problematic characters).
It should probably use a list instead of a scalar to avoid the shell.
