Bug#996784: deb822-repro: Doesn't preserve field name casing

Package: python3-debian
Version: 0.1.39
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nthykier at debian.org

When updating a field using the deb822 repro code, the existing field name
casing is discarded and instead overriden by the user-provided casing. This is
inconsistent with the way that the current code works, and makes it harder
to make minimal changes to the existing file.

>>> from debian._deb822_repro.parsing import parse_deb822_file
>>> z = parse_deb822_file(["Source: blah", "Standards-version: 3.1.3"])
>>> list(z.iter_parts())[0]['Standards-Version'] = '1.2.3.4'
>>> z.convert_to_text()
'Source: blah\nStandards-Version: 1.2.3.4\n'
