partimage suffers from this, because the line between two of its
paragraphs contains a single space rather than being zero-length;
lintian's check currently requires a zero-length line. Since
parsecdata() in /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl strips off trailing spaces
before splitting paragraphs, I've changed lintian to do the same.
