Bug#847221: debsums: false positive missing file in open-vm-tools-desktop package - encoding issue?

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: debsums
Version: 2.1.3
Severity: important

Hi,

open-vm-tools-desktop contains a file with a 'interesting' name:

  /lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount

and debsums reports that the file is missing although it exists in the
file system:

  # debsums -ac
  debsums: missing file /lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount (from open-vm-tools-desktop package)

  # ls -la '/lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount' 
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 460 Nov 16 02:35 /lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount

Maybe the backslash has been escaped once too much?
