> I wanted to add extra Provides to the system-release package, for example:

> I did not get what I expected...

> 
> Provides: system-release(codename): Schrödinger’s Cat
> ->
> error: line 20: Illegal char in: Provides:       system-release(codename) = Schrödinger’s Cat
> 
> 
> Provides: system-release(codename): Schrodingers Cat
> ->
> system-release(codename) = Schrödinger’s
> Cat

> 
> Provides:       system-release(codename) = "Schrodingers Cat"
> error: line 20: Illegal char '"' in: Provides:       system-release(codename) = "Schrodingers Cat"

Since the request was made, this has been enabled in the automatic dependency generators, which makes it worse because the generators can now create dependencies you can't manually depend on.
