Yes, that's indeed annoying, and I'm the one (partially :))

That would be ideal indeed.

 From pkg-perl-tools changelog:

pkg-perl-tools (0.86) unstable; urgency=medium

   * dpt-fixup: (temporarily) adjust to changes in
     libconfig-model-dpkg-perl (cf. #1125967).

wrap-and-sort wasn't used in dpt-fixup before pkg-perl-tools 0.86.

The (original) change was in libconfig-model-dpkg-perl.

Then I played around with various options and opted for using 
wrap-and-sort for the time being, but this can lead to this double 
change as wrap-and-sort/cme/debputy almost but not completely agree 
on the formatting …

/*
In libconfig-model-dpkg-perl's git I found 
b47f787095a12e708ac572dbfce245b212181ac8:

     Dpkg backend: use style like wrap-and-sort -ast

     See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849498#32 for
     rationale
*/


So yeah, we could switch dpt-fixup back to use cme (instead of 
wrap-and-sort); this would avoid _this_ annoyance but on the other 
hand might introduce changes which are more than just reformatting 
(that's #1125967).


Cheers,
