Bug#568171: dh_pysupport doesn't skip newlines in debian/pyversions

Package: python-support

        Hi

 This bug was originally reported at:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-support/+bug/437593

 When parsing debian/pyversions, dh_pysupport is confused with newlines
 in the file.

 I'm attaching a proposed patch.

    Thanks,

 NB: for convenience, I imported the SVN repo of python-support at
 https://code.launchpad.net/~lool/python-support/trunk and this patch is
 in https://code.launchpad.net/~lool/python-support/lp-437593
