Hi,

> avoiding characters like '*', '?', '<', '>', ':', '|'... That's all.

Except ':' the others have a meaning to the shell and thus would be a
controversial choice.i
In case of Debian it is nearly defined what characters are allowed in a
package name.

  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html#namever
  "Package name and version [...]
   You must choose the package name to consist only of lower case letters
   (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus (-) signs, and periods (.).
   It must be at least two characters long, must start with an
   alphanumeric character, [...]
   You should choose the upstream version to consist only of alphanumerics
   (0-9A-Za-z), plus signs (+), tildes (~), and periods (.)."

So the version part of the .deb file name might contain ':', although this
is discouraged.

Consider to give the complete list of bad characters with your points 2
and 3.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
