Bug#934273: python3-debian: please support parsing Source: package (version)

[David Bremner]

Package: python3-debian
Version: 0.1.35
Severity: wishlist

Since

Source: 0xffff (0.8-1)

is a legit line in a Packages (and buildinfo) file, we should
impliment a parser for that once, rather than letting everyone
re-invent their own hack.
