Bug#761298: python-debian: Please add support for uncompressed control.tar deb member

[Guillem Jover]

Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.23
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Thanks for the fix for #718355. Unfortunately I forgot to update that
bug report to request the same for the control.tar deb member.

Also a minor nit, dpkg-deb does not support anything other than
control.tar, control.tar.gz and control.tar.xz, in case you want to be
strict while parsing.

(And while I'm here, you might want to consider adding support for
data.tar.lzma, but only for historical/backward compatibility reasons,
as it's a deprecated compressor, alongside bzip2, that will stop being
allowed at build time only in the near future, but it will still be
useful to be able to extract old binary apckages, but otherwise just
ignore this.)

The current support table can be found at:

Thanks,
Guillem
