"apt-cache showpkg" breaks RFC822 conventions on several fields.
A specific example follows - the lines following "Dependencies:"
and "Provides:" are continuation lines that should be indented
by at least one whitespace character. This breaks any code that
assumes RFC822 output, although a partial workaround is to assume
that any line starting with a digit is a continuation line.
(A minor nit: the example also shows a trailing comma on the
"Versions:" field. It's not clear if that is significant, or
just an artifact of the processing code.)

Good thing it isn't ment to be RFC822 conforming..
