hi!

i discovered this one when trying to run the patch-tracker.debian.net code
on an updated sid system.

if a record in a Sources file has only a single checksum entry, it's returned
as a single dict object.  if it has multiple entries, they are returned as
a list of dicts.  for example, with an abbriviated Sources file like this:

cat << EOF > sourcesfile

 bf7ed630c44fa37b0eb24b666a5a16c2701ec202 24696 povray_3.7.0~beta29-1.diff.gz
EOF

and the following code:

slist = deb822.Sources.iter_paragraphs(file('sourcesfile'))
for ent in slist:
  print ent['Checksums-Sha1']

you get:

{'sha1': 'dd987a5ee85d8c4fc3e115f60a6a021e78c626dd', 'size': '13627', 'name': 'debian-archive-keyring_2009.01.31.tar.gz'}
[{'sha1': 'c2b88b819f5b8fe731990bec2e02654d67c5df34', 'size': '6761402', 'name': 'povray_3.7.0~beta29.orig.tar.gz'}, {'sha1': 'bf7ed630c44fa37b0eb24b666a5a16c2701ec202', 'size': '24696', 'name': 'povray_3.7.0~beta29-1.diff.gz'}

and i would argue you should get:

[{'sha1': 'dd987a5ee85d8c4fc3e115f60a6a021e78c626dd', 'size': '13627', 'name': 'debian-archive-keyring_2009.01.31.tar.gz'}]
[{'sha1': 'c2b88b819f5b8fe731990bec2e02654d67c5df34', 'size': '6761402', 'name': 'povray_3.7.0~beta29.orig.tar.gz'}, {'sha1': 'bf7ed630c44fa37b0eb24b666a5a16c2701ec202', 'size': '24696', 'name': 'povray_3.7.0~beta29-1.diff.gz'}

which i believe was the previous behavior.

i should be able to code around this problem but it does seem to be
a regression.
