Bug#696631: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: '+' is allowed in package names

[Stephen Kitt]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.031
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When running "cme check dpkg" in the gcc-mingw-w64 source, I get
failures related to the use of '+' in a package name:

Warning in 'control binary:"gcc-mingw-w64" Recommends:0' value 'g++-mingw-w64': package g is unknown. Check for typos if not a virtual package.
Configuration item 'control binary:"gcc-mingw-w64" Recommends:0' has a wrong value:
	dependency 'g++-mingw-w64' does not match grammar

As far as I'm aware this package name is perfectly legal.
Unfortunately my perl-fu doesn't extend far enough to fix this...

Regards,

Stephen
