The copyright format declares that the field is "space"-separated[1] and does not even declare a way to escape spaces. The best you can get is "file/with?spaces" (i.e. use "?" as a single character wildcard) if you want a legal DEP-5 copyright. If you think the spec is inadequate (I would be inclined to agree), please bring it up as a bug against debian-policy. Thanks, ~Niels [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#files-field
