Bug#933648: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: Weak handling of comments

[Andreas Tille]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.125
Severity: normal

Hi,

in debian/control of jellyfish a whole paragraph is commented[1]

#Package: python3-dna-jellyfish
#Architecture: any
#Section: python
#Depends: ${python3:Depends},
# ...

when running cme I get the following error:

jellyfish(master) $ cme fix dpkg-control
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.       
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
Warning in 'source Standards-Version': Current standards version is '4.4.0'. Please read https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for the changes that may be needed on your package to upgrade it from standard version '4.3.0' to '4.4.0'.

Offending value: '4.3.0'
Backend Dpkg::Control failed to read debian/control: Can't use string ("#Package: python3-dna-jellyfish") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/perl5/Config/Model/Backend/Dpkg/Control.pm line 65.


I wonder whether you see a chance just to leave alone any commented
lines in cme.  I observed issues with several different kinds of
comments (not only this one) but specifically here simply ignoring
it would help a lot.

Thanks for your work on cme which I'm using for every single package
upload

      Andreas.
