This doesn't actually change the treatment of install and changelog

Fixes FS#25827.

This is getting pretty ugly... I'm still 50/50 on whether or not we should do
this. I will point out that if we choose not to merge this, there's a dozen or
so packages in extra/community that need to be fixed:

$ grep -lE '^(install|changelog)=\(' /var/abs/*/*/PKGBUILD

And just because I'm getting a little paranoid about making changes this close
to release, here's the test rig I used to proof this patch:

Allan, thoughts?


I will give this an ack. I lean ever so slightly to the side that if bash accepts that syntax then so should we. So given this is a fairly small fix, I see no point in not including it.

I added a couple more cases to your tests (involving files with spaces...) and all seems good to me.
