Source: dnsmasq
Version: 2.72-2
Severity: minor
The debchange(1) utility in devscripts, commonly used via its dch(1) alias,
is a convenient tool to add changelog entries to a package. Unfortunately,
it cannot parse dnsmasq's control file due to a line at the end containing
only spaces, which Parse::DebControl interprets as an indented
line-continuation with nothing to continue:
% dch
Parse error: indented entry without previous line at line 46 of data (" ").
After jessie is released, it would be great if you could tidy up the
whitespace so that standard tools work on it - that makes NMUs a lot easier!
debian/changelog also has unusual formatting (probably because you
haven't been using debchange): there are various lines containing only
whitespace which might well confuse some changelog parsers, and the
bullet points are indented one space more than is conventional.
