I have added the ability to parse Packages files directly in the
downloader, without having to take the intermediate step of generating
a dtorrent file. You can now run the program like so:

btdownloadheadless.py \
  /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_contrib_binary-i386_Packages

or even:

btdownloadheadless.py \
  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz

and get the same result as:

btdownloadheadless.py \
  dtorrents/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_contrib_binary-i386_Packages.dtorrent

I have tested it on the scenario above and it works perfectly. If you
can think of any other tests to run, please do.

Thanks,
Cameron
