Imagine the the following usage:
```
for source in %{sources}
do
    echo ${source}
done
```

If there are spaces either in the file name or somewhere within the upper directory names, the command inside the loop will be executed for each part of the name.
Therefore %{sources} and likewise %{patches} should expand into a list of values where each value is contained in single quotes.

I noticed that the situation when a file name contains a single quote is already handled by surrounding the file name in quotes and escaping the inner quote.
