Unfortunately, the apt_pkg.TagFile interface is not available in the
version of python-apt in unstable. I'll see if the interface is similar
enough to the old ParseTagFile one to make deb822 use it if it's
available but fall back on the old one if not. If it would mean a bunch
of extra code, I'd prefer to wait until this shows up in unstable.
Meanwhile, you can patch deb822.py like this:
diff --git a/debian_bundle/deb822.py b/debian_bundle/deb822.py
index dd1d201..371fe9b 100644
--- a/debian_bundle/deb822.py

I'll consider committing a patch like this, but I don't really like to
ignore warnings in released code...
