It is not, but trying to build packages below a path that includes whitespace or shell metacharacters is also not forbidden by the build- essential definition. Or on strange filesystems not fully following POSIX semantics. I think all of these are however uncommon configurations these days and wouldn't treat either as serious in my packages. Ansgar
