Bug#849500: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: improper handling of comments

[Afif Elghraoui]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.087
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm not a cme user, but I've seen as part of team uploads in my packages
before that comments in debian/control are moved away from the lines
they refer to in the process of reorganization (and inadvertently committed
without being checked).

In bringing this up, I was strongly opposed in that there is no reason for
there to be comments in debian/control. Regardless of the position taken on
this, cme does not handle comments properly: either their relative position
to the lines they refer to should be preserved, or they should be removed
altogether.

Many thanks and regards
Afif
