Minor Description
During updating Debian's autopkgtest I came across the problem that sometimes e.g the patternlayouttest fails with something like this:
51/57 Test #15: patternlayouttest ......................***Failed 0.17 sec
LC_CTYPE: C.UTF-8
patternlayouttest : sed: file output/patternlayout.sed line 1: unknown option to `s'
Line 363: Compare::compare(FILTERED, LOG4CXX_FILE("witness/patternLayout.10")) was expected to be true, was false.
sed: file output/patternlayout.sed line 1: unknown option to `s'
After some debugging into it, I figured out that "Q" is used as the seperator for sed and the patternlayouttest uses somewhere _FILE_ which ends up in an invalid sed expression. As autopkgtest copies the source tree to some mktemp-made directory, a "Q" can happen in the source path...
The attached patch (I willl also make a PR) will make sure that any "Q"'s are escaped as "\Q" so that sed will not become unhappy.
