Sounds somewhat contrived. External data, yes, but then you might
consider that the *entire* PKGBUILD is external data which is fed to
makepkg. What makes this particular case special? Is there an immediate
problem that this fixes?

While I agree with this change (and other similar fixups), it seems
unrelated to the rest of the commit...

How sure are you that this won't affect some later operation in the
function?

Why not use read to split the result?

  IFS=' ' read -a cmdline < <(get_downloadclient "$proto")
  [[ $cmdline ]] || exit
