FYI,
I have just added support in APT for constructs like:
Package: sgml-tools
Version: 1.0.5-1
Priority: optional
Section: text
Maintainer: Sven Rudolph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Depends: libc6, sp (>= 1.1.1-3), sgml-data (>= 0.02),
sgml-base, gawk, perl (>= 5.004.04-4)
Suggests: groff, latex, dvips, texinfo, info-browser
(note the multiple lines used for the depends)
I got a bug report effectively saying that dpkg permits this. Till then I
had thought it was invalid. only xzip and sgml-tools make use of this.
Thought some of you who write scripts to look at the archive would like to
know..
I have a verifying parser and normalizing emitter which corrects many many
oddball constructs that dpkg accepts if anyone is interested.
