Written like this u certainly can't since the output of the find expression is
subjected to word splitting before u gets set. Hence this will fail if ${D}
contains spaces even if ${u} gets quoted. The best way to solve this is to use
find ... -print0 | xargs -0 rm. Unfortunately that solution means using GNU
extensions that I'm not sure are guaranteed to be available in the ebuild
environment. If they aren't maybe they should be.
