backslash

[Jorge Almeida]

This may look a somewhat strange question, but anyway: can I be
reasonably sure that no file belonging to a [sane] package ever has a
backslash in its path?

In case you're wondering, I want to cook up a setup to find which
package owns a file (the gentoo way is really slow): a directory is
populated with symlinks, each corresponding to a file; the target is the
package owning the file; of course, the symlink name can't have a slash,
hence the question...
