Ok, I nearly finished it :) It is written in Python and is called dctrl2xml.

I could successfully convert sid's binary-i386/source package files into XML.
However, because dctrl2xml builds up a dom tree of all packages in these

Is it really your intent here to filter out those packages whose

the Plan 9 ones would use utf-8, but I suppose they're not POSIX.

Hi,
I want to publish on my homepage a list of packages, that are in my private
package repository. Therefore it would be useful, if I could convert the
output of 'dpkg-scanpackages' and 'dpkg-scansources' into XML, so that I only
have to write the appropriate XSLT stylesheets.
Is there any

If you want to include the short or long descriptions you'd have to
wrap those fields in CDATA tags, so you'd need an exta sed

This outputs all fields and splits the short and long descriptions:

Of course you're right. But building XML with shell commands
