Is there an ls quoting-style we can specify to correct this?  I don't
have a local sid install handy to test this, but something like `ls
--quoting-sytle=literal` might do it (or -N aiui)?  Perhaps we can alias
this in a common.* file?

or maybe one of...
  - âliteralâ
  - âshellâ
  - âshell-alwaysâ
  - âcâ
  - âc-maybeâ
  - âescapeâ
  - âlocaleâ
  - âclocaleâ
  
would work if not literal?

Cheers,

Lukas
