Do we have a definite answer on this? I'm willing to fix this
but I don't know dejagnu and don't have time to learn it.
Quoting the tool's value seems the most conservative approach.
(BTW nobody ever wrote a test case exercising dejagnu in the
Automake test suite. Hence releases are always done with
untested dejagnu support. This sucks. Any taker?)
