allow multivalue fields in deb822 sources to be folded
The documentation said "spaces", but there is no real reason to be so
strict and only allow spaces to separate values as that only leads to
very long lines if e.g. multiple URIs are specified which are again hard
to deal with from a user PoV which the deb822 format is supposed to
avoid. It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things
like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world.
The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs
which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to
mess really bad with output and further processing.
