Dear maintainers,
dcmd tries to parse the section field of changes file, instead of just
considering the line as fields of chars separated by spaces:
$ dcmd echo rust-rapidhash_4.4.1-1_i386-buildd.changes
/usr/bin/dcmd: 8: eval: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
$ grep -A4 ^Files rust-rapidhash_4.4.1-1_i386-buildd.changes
Files:

2f46a6b1f97bdb5e4ab63b98db0d0d2d 7230 rust optional
rust-rapidhash_4.4.1-1_i386-buildd.buildinfo
The section is definitely broken, but that should just be ignored by
dcmd which has no use for that field.
Note that's not a theoretical issue, such package exists in the archive.
The changes file can be fetched from [1] and the source package from
[2].
