[Bug 728494] Re: pbuilder-satisfydepends breaks on comments before source package

[Colin Watson]

My branch to implement build-dependency handling using an sbuild-like
algorithm using python-debian to parse the build-dependencies takes care
of this; I've verified that by running the relevant code against
libgnome-keyring's control file.

Title:
  pbuilder-satisfydepends breaks on comments before source package

Status in launchpad-buildd:
  In Progress
Status in pbuilder package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in pbuilder package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pbuilder

  Comments before the source package paragraph in debian/control break
  pbuilder-satisfydepends. The problem is somewhere in
  get_source_control_field in /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-
  funcs

  Several of the GNOME packages have a comment at the top of the
  debian/control file indicating it is autogenerated, e.g. libgnome-
  keyring.

  This affects the Launchpad buildds, which use pbuilder-satisfydepends
  to install the build dependencies before running clean after recipe
  builds.
