casper-md5check can't handle filenames with spaces

Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

casper-md5check expects filenames in /md5sum.txt to not include spaces. The attached patch fixes this to accept arbitrary filenames.

This bug doesn't appear in hardy because the files on the live cd are without spaces. In customized CDs, however, it may cause errors to be reported even though the files are intact.

  [ Johannes Ballé ]
  * Handle spaces in file names in md5sum.txt (LP: #251112).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Support ?= (set value but don't mark as seen) preseeding syntax in
    preseed script; previously we only supported it in the keyboard script,
    which confusingly doesn't deal with propagating console-setup/* preseeds
    to the target filesystem (LP: #253749).
  * Update to localechooser's new languagelist format.

  [ Tormod Volden ]
  * scripts/casper: don't scan floppy drives for livefs images (LP: #97306)
  * scripts/casper: fix broken RE in is_nice_device() (LP: #250328)
  * scripts/casper: properly use argument $1 in matches_uuid()
