Well maybe we're talking about the same: $* expands to a single word
separated by the first character of the IFS variable while $@ expands to
separate words. Did you see any problems with the way it's done at the
moment? I vaguely remember using $@ at first but --debbuildops expecting
a single word. So I'd rather keep the existing syntax (except you have a
case where that fails).
