Bug Description
When checking the onboard package in Debian with lintian, I get this:
"""
I: onboard source: wildcard-

N: The wildcard that was specified matches no file in the source tree. This
N: either indicates that you should fix the wildcard so that it matches the
N: intended file or that you can remove the wildcard. Notice that in

N: leading dots.

This is related to upstream filenames containing a space character.
For code+data files it is quite uncommon to use blanks in filenames and I would like to kindly ask to change those into filenames not containing any blanks:
My current work-around in debian/copyright is this:
diff --git a/debian/copyright b/debian/copyright
index 8b57e60..8c5e03b 100644
--- a/debian/copyright

My suggestion for onboard upstream is to use the following filenames for the Full Keyboard layout:

(I replaced " " by "_").
