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.
