sounds reasonable.

I have a suspicion that some of python-debian's handling of InRelease is 
still incorrect. I need to find the time to look back over my previous 
investigations to figure out if this is indeed the case and then how to 
properly handle the signatures. The number of different entry points for 
parsing a deb822 file also made that work difficult. I'd regard this as 
important to have in jessie but it shouldn't block an earlier upload if 
there's other things that are ready to go now. Uploads are cheap.

I also started work on a class to represent removals.822 -- I'd like to 
rework that to look more like the copyright class and less like the Packages 
etc class that we have. I don't know that I'll get there by Nov 5 and it's 
only "nice to have" anyway.

cheers
Stuart
