Bug#842391: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: cme edit dpkg-patches should handle patch written like git commits

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.085
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

cme chokes on patches created with git show:

$ cme dump dpkg-patch use-ffi_arg-type 
cme: using Dpkg::Patch model                  
File debian/patches/use-ffi_arg-type line 5 has a syntax error:
        Did not find a keyword before: '   use ffi_arg type for libffi nativecall return types''

The patch is:
$ quilt header use-ffi_arg-type
commit 45d5c13ecbeeb085ddaaabec8150b6051b90f023
Author: Tobias Leich <email at froggs.de>        
Date:   Thu Oct 27 17:55:36 2016 +0200

    use ffi_arg type for libffi nativecall return types
    
    This fixes issues on big endian machines, and is according to
    https://github.com/libffi/libffi/issues/286 the right way to handle
    it anyway.


using -force option is useless as the patch is dropped.

With (or without?) -force, cme should store information lines in
the dep-3 Description field. (with the commit line ?)
