Bug#743174: paragraph parsing truncates on comments

[Martin Pitt]

Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.21+nmu2

Hello,

while debugging an autopkgtest bug[1] I noticed that python-debian's
parsing of paragraphs ignores everything after a line comment. Simple
reproducer:

$ echo -e 'Build-Depends: foo,\n#comment\n bar' | python -c 'import sys, debian.deb822; l = [p for p in debian.deb822.Deb822.iter_paragraphs(sys.stdin)]; print(l)'
[{'Build-Depends': u'foo,'}]

This parses

---------
Build-Depends: foo,
#comment
 bar
---------

but "bar" doesn't appear in the result. E. g. lintian has that in its
debian/control file.

Thanks for considering,

Martin
