[Bug 1453498] Re: Trim options in autopkgtest configuration file

[Martin Pitt]

Ah, thanks, can reproduce now. That parsing is done by Python's argparse
module, I'm not sure that one can actually influence its behaviour wrt.
trimming. I'll have a look at the documentation.

Title:
  Trim options in autopkgtest configuration file

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If there are leading or trailing spaces in an argument in an
  autopkgtest configuration file the command will fail with:

  ⟫ adt-run asic0x @dkms/dkms.cfg                                                                                                                 
  usage: adt-run [options] action [action ...] --- virt-server [options]
  adt-run: error: argument -d/--debug: ignored explicit argument ' '

  In this case it was a trailing space.

  Arguments should be trimmed.
