It is not, but trying to build packages below a path that includes
whitespace or shell metacharacters is also not forbidden by the build-
essential definition.  Or on strange filesystems not fully following
POSIX semantics.

I think all of these are however uncommon configurations these days and
wouldn't treat either as serious in my packages.
