Here it is in patch form. Note that it doesn't entirely address the issue as passing the _InRelease file to python-apt's get_release_date_from_release_file(path) function ends up handing the file to pkg_apt.TagFile() which doesn't recognize the inline gpg signed file as a RFC 2822 tag formatted file; presumably something needs to verify and remove the gpg signature before handing it off to pkg_apt.TagFile(). I'm not familiar as all with the pkg_apt (aka libpkg- apt) APIs, and they are large enough for me not to see an obvious method for doing that.
