Subject: gpm: creates wrong `append=' line

Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-16
Severity: grave

Hello,

the new gpm package generates a wrong escaped config-file:

root@darkside:/etc# diff gpm.conf gpm.conf.dpkg-dist
...
18c18
< append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""
---
> append="-l "a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377""

gpm.conf is the one created by 1.19.6-14
gpm.conf.dpkg-dist is the one created by 1.19.6-16

regards,
   Mario
