Control: reassign -1 devscripts

Hi,

The RTS parser can already cope with non-deb822 input. However, the 
caller has to opt-in to it and wrap-and-sort never that that.

I am doing a patch for this to have wrap-and-sort cope with invalid 
syntactical input.  It will come with degradation of features - notably, 
the package sorting will be disabled as otherwise we risk moving a 
paragraph out of a templated section (and if that templated section is a 
for-loop, you now get a completely different result).

To my knowledge, there is nothing for `python3-debian` to do at the 
moment. Reassigning to devscripts for doing the patch.

Best regards,
Niels
