Package: libdpkg-perl Version: 1.16.10 Severity: wishlist Dpkg::Control::Hash has an allow_pgp parameter. It would be nice to be able to _accept_ a PGP-signed file but be able to tell after parsing that this happened.
I would like this to be able to give a better error message when a user provides already-signed files to dgit http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731635 Of course I could replicate the logic in Dpkg::Control::Hash but that seems pointless. (I have no need of the actual PGP signature information; I just want to know whether one appeared to be present. And callers that want to verify the file are going to have to go to a lot more trouble anyway so I think there's probably little point providing more detail than "was it present or not", unless it's easy to do so.)
