Bug#695797: Depends field in test control file cannot be folded

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 2.2.3
Severity: normal

A multiline Depends field results in a syntax error

adt-run: trace: ** bomb tests/control line 2: syntax error
<VirtSubproc>: failure: end of file - caller quit?
adt-run: testbed failing, exit status 12
adt-run: testbed failed: tests/control line 2: syntax error

The dep8 specs mentions:
"""
   Depends: <dpkg dependency field syntax>
"""

dpkg dependency fields are folded fields.
