manpage autogeneration: Problem with escaping backslashes

[buhtz]

Related to the packaging process at Debian I was pointed to a tiny problem with the manpages which maybe caused by the script create-manpage-backintime-config.py that auto-generates the manpage.

backintime/common/man/C/backintime-config.1

Lines 728 to 735 in 979b757

	.IP "\fIprofile<N>.snapshots.ssh.prefix.value\fR" 6
	.RS
	Type: str Allowed Values: text
	.br
	Prefix to run before every command on remote host. Variables need to be escaped with \\$FOO. This doesn't touch rsync. So to add a prefix for rsync use \fIprofile<N>.snapshots.rsync_options.value\fR with --rsync-path="FOO=bar:\\$FOO /usr/bin/rsync"
	.PP
	Default: 'PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:\\\$PATH'
	.RE

Line 734 has three \ but it should be only two.

Default: 'PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:\\\$PATH'
                                  ^^^

That line is generated from that value where are only two \:

DEFAULT_SSH_PREFIX = 'PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:\\$PATH'
                                              ^^

I will look into the script later and fix it.

Lintian does use this command to check such manpages.

$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z "backintime-config.1" > /dev/null
