Maybe pkglint can --explain this:

WARN: Makefile:51--55: Please use "\\." instead of "\.".
         Although the current code may work, it is not good style to
         rely on the shell passing "\." exactly as is, and not
         discarding the backslash. Alternatively you can use single
         quotes instead of double quotes.
