I've fixed this in GNU shtool for the next release and included a
snapshot copy of it in the latest openpkg-20030404-20030404 package. It
should be now aware of whitespaces. Thanks for your feedback.

We cannot replace /bin/ls in the rc script to %{l_prefix}/bin/ls because
the rc script is part of the bootstrap package and at its time there are
no coreutils installed in the OpenPKG instance.
