RFC-2822 specifies:
the header field:
Subject: This is a test
can be represented as:
Subject: This
is a test
In Debian control files, DEP 3 and DEP 5, some fields preserve the newline
characters (which by the way are specified by RFC-2822 to be CRLF), and give a
special importance to the first line. A strictly RFC-2822 parser can not parse
Debian control files nor DEP 3 patch headers, as it will not preserve CRLF
characters.
What I am simply asking, is that if DEP 3 is not RFC-2822 compliant, it is not
written that it is RFC-2822 compliant.
