Bug#958749: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: Parsing of wrapped long patch subjects incorrect

[Ryan Pavlik]

Control: reassign -1 git-buildpackage 0.9.14
Control: retitle -1 gbp-pq should not wrap long subjects


Thanks for following up on this one, that makes sense. In the mean
time, I'll try to keep those subject lines shorter when I control
them. I've reassigned the issue accordingly - not sure how feasible
fixing it is but may as well track it.
