Bug description:
Binary package hint: rubber

Rubber does not interpret directives if the comment character is preceded by spaces: it will read

% rubber: read /path/foo

but not

  % rubber: read /path/foo

The attached patch fixes the problem. It has Rubber look for a regexp instead of "%" at the beginning of the line. 

I am using 1.1-2.1ubuntu1 on gutsy.
