The merge phase worked perfectly. This is in the invocation of 'pkgmk'.

No need to exclude them. You can use this snippet to replace spaces with '_':
  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/adobereader/trunk/Makefile#L65
The ultimate solution would be a specific class action undoinng the substitution on install,
but I never ancountered a case where this was really necessary.
