Package: python3-debian
Version: 0.1.37
Severity: wishlist

Thanks for developing python-debian.
It would be very nice if it could support easy and "pythonic"
editing of debian/control:
- Load the whole file into a tree of dicts and lists
- Allow updating it and writing to file
- Preserve the order of items in lists e.g. dependencies

This would be useful for creating linting tools similar to
lintian-brush.

Thanks!
