Lintian tag: brace-expansion-in-debhelper-config-file

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This debhelper config file appears to use shell brace expansion (such as
{foo,bar}) to specify files. This happens to work due to an accident of
implementation but is not a supported feature. Only ?, *, and [...] are
supported.

Please refer to the debhelper(1) manual page for details.
