RPM 4.18 and earlier had its own, non-standard and somewhat inconsistent glob 
semantics in the `%files` section. In 4.19 we changed/fixed that to use the 
standard, shell-like semantics, as defined in `glob(7)`.

That means, among other things, that quotes now turn off the meaning of any 
metachars in between them. This is more in line with what one would expect and 
also enables use cases that weren't possible previously.

If you're interested in the details, there was a series of PRs implementing 
this, most notably these two: 
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/2103 and 
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/2206.

The correct fix here is to adjust the SPEC file, or in this case, the CPack 
generator that produces these file entries. Thanks for the linked ticket, 
that's indeed the right place to do it. I'm closing this one.
