Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.5
Severity: important

"wrap-and-sort" silently removes all comments from debian/control.

This is unacceptable as debian/control may contain important comments and/or 
commented binary package(s).

Even worse "wrap-and-sort" drops legitimate packages.
Consider the following fragment from debian/control:

        Breaks:
        # some-library (>= 1.8) is needed to avoid random crashes in application
          some-library (<< 1.8)

"wrap-and-sort" drops the entire contents of Breaks section above.

Regards,
Dmitry.

When switching the default parser from apt's TagFile to the internal one, this 
bug was fixed.
