Bug#655988: python-debian: deb822 wrong result when space in newline after paragraph

[Julian Taylor]

Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.21
Severity: normal

attached control has a space in the newline between a paragraph (line 31)
this disturbs debian.deb822.Deb822.iter_paragraphs while other tools
seem to handle it well.

import debian.deb822

In [2]: len([p for p in
debian.deb822.Deb822.iter_paragraphs(open("control-wspace"))])
Out[2]: 2
In [3]: len([p for p in
debian.deb822.Deb822.iter_paragraphs(open("control-wospace"))])
Out[3]: 3

policy 5.1 on it:
The paragraphs are separated by empty lines. Parsers may accept lines
consisting solely of spaces and tabs as paragraph separators, but
control files *should* use empty lines.
