The Debian Package deb822
----------------------------

Typical usage (contrived, but this should give you an idea of how the interface
works).

    import deb822

    d = deb822.dsc(open('foo_1.1.dsc'))
    source = d['Source']
    version = d['Version']

    files = d['Files']

    for f in files:
        print 'name:', f['name']
        print 'size:', f['size']
        print 'md5sum:', f['md5sum']

    # If we like, we can hack fields
    d['Version'] = "1.1jsw1"

    # And then dump the new contents
    new_dsc = open('foo_1.1jsw1.dsc', 'w')
    d.dump(new_dsc)
    new_dsc.close()
