Thanks for the example. But from where is that package? Doesn't seem
to be an official Debian package. Am I right, that the package is from
https://apt.homegear.eu/?

(Yes, I can construct a package with that characteristica, but being
able to work on the exactly same package might be easier.)

Not sure from a first glance either. This \S looks as if was there on
purpose. Will need a closer look.
