> .... This isn't really a bug ...
I assume that you're talking about something other than the main problem this bug report is about? Arbitrary text from messages I receive is being validated for conformance to some rules for "key/directory" names, and is triggering a warning message if it doesn't match those rules, even though there's no particular reason why the text should match those rules. That's pretty definitely a bug.
I assume, therefore, that what you're saying is that this bug is not in some particular component of the system, but in the misuse of that component. Could you explain that in a little more detail? Why is this text being passed to something which expects to receive a "key/directory" name? If there's a good reason for checking whether or not it's a key/directory name, is there some way to do so without generating an error message in contexts where it's not an error for it to fail to meet the requirements for a key/directory name?
