Package: dose3
Version: 7.0.0-1
Tags: patch

dpkg, apt, grep-dctrl and other tools handle multi-line Depends,
Suggests, etc. fields just fine, even though policy only defines
Description as a multi-line field (and dpkg-gencontrol folds such
multiline fields in a source's debian/control into single line ones in
the resulting binary packages. However, since version 7.0.0, dose3's
debcheck falls over if a package has such a multiline headers.

See https://gitlab.com/irill/dose3/-/issues/17 and the associated pull-request.

The problem is surfaced by third party package build tools like bazel
(via pkg_deb, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/issues/572).
I have also encountered this issue with third party packages that use
other build tools.

It would be nice to get this fixed in Debian, even if upstream is slow
on picking it up (the CI failure is solely because I didn't accept
some prompt before sending the PR).

Cheers,
Sven
