Not sure about the quote issue, but I do understand the messy formatting. You could put a dash "-" in the start of the here document like this:

Code:
done <<-EOF

This allows for better formatting although I think the final EOF still needs to be at the beginning of the line. I suspect you're using since it is behaving like this. More info can be found in Chapter 10 of Expert Shell Scripting (Apress).

Glad it worked.

DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLEMACSEN(1)

NAME

       dh_installemacsen - register an Emacs add on package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installemacsen [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--priority=n] [--flavor=foo]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installemacsen is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by the Debian emacsen-common package into package
       build directories.

       It also automatically generates the preinst postinst and prerm commands needed to register a package as an Emacs add on package. The
       commands are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

FILES

       debian/package.emacsen-compat
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/compat/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-install
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-remove
	   Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-startup
	   Installed into etc/emacs/site-start.d/50package.el in the package build directory. Use --priority to use a different priority than 50.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

       --priority=n
	   Sets the priority number of a site-start.d file. Default is 50.

       --flavor=foo
	   Sets the flavor a site-start.d file will be installed in. Default is emacs, alternatives include xemacs and emacs20.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       This program is a part of debhelper.
