Python modules to work with Debian-related data formats
This package provides Python modules that abstract many formats of Debian
related files. Currently handled are:
* Debtags information (debian.debtags module)
* debian/changelog (debian.changelog module)
* Packages files, pdiffs (debian.debian_support module)
* Control files of single or multiple RFC822-style paragraphs, e.g.
debian/control, .changes, .dsc, Packages, Sources, Release, etc.
(debian.deb822 module)
* Raw .deb and .ar files, with (read-only) access to contained
files and meta-information

README for debian.changelog
---------------------------
The aim of this module is to provide programmatic access to Debian changelogs
to query and manipulate them.
N.B. The API is not stable yet, and so you can expect it to change.
Create a changelog object using the constuctor. Pass it the contents of the
file if there are some entries, or None to create an empty changelog.

================
The Python deb822 aims to provide a dict-like interface to various rfc822-like
Debian data formats, like Packages/Sources, .changes/.dsc, pdiff Index files,
etc. The benefit is that deb822 knows about special fields that contain
whitespace separated sub-fields, and provides named access to them. For
example, the "Files" field in Source packages, which has three s
