Hello, I am sorry I didn't answer to this bug in all these years...
The support for Deb822 files seems very limited right now. Beside of the bug you reported, it fails to handle folded entries, as your Info: fields where the first line is not specific and should be added to the content afterward. Comments are also badly handled. Etc etc. I think that the best would be to reimplement it from scratch. I'm not a big fan of reimplementing things from scratch, but the existing po4a parser for control files is 50 lines long only. Not a big loss. Do you guys know a good and simple parser of such files that would be written in Perl? If it's a library I'd reuse it, and if it's part of another program I'd copy/paste and adapt it to our use case. Given the time I can devote to this project despite IRL, I need to be efficient. Thanks, and sorry for the delay, Mt
