Package: libparse-debcontrol-perl
Version: 2.005-2
Severity: normal
debian/control does now allow comments (lines starting with # with no
preceding whitespace) but when libparse-debcontrol-perl comes across
such a debian/control file, parse_file returns an empty variable.
Either parse_file should ignore the comments and preserve the rest of
the content or preserve both comments and content.
