The official description of the DocFiles field in the Packaging Manual
states simply, "The value is a space-separated list of files." HEAD
conforms to this spec. That one could previously use quotes to subvert
that behavior could almost be seen as a bug in 0.24.11. More
charitably, it is just something that $maintainer stumbled upon that
happened to work due to how that field was implemented previously.
