Package: libdpkg-perl
Version: 1.16.10
Severity: wishlist

Dpkg::Control::Hash has an allow_pgp parameter.  It would be nice to
be able to _accept_ a PGP-signed file but be able to tell after
parsing that this happened.

I would like this to be able to give a better error message when a
user provides already-signed files to dgit
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731635
Of course I could replicate the logic in Dpkg::Control::Hash but that
seems pointless.

(I have no need of the actual PGP signature information; I just want
to know whether one appeared to be present.  And callers that want to
verify the file are going to have to go to a lot more trouble anyway
so I think there's probably little point providing more detail than
"was it present or not", unless it's easy to do so.)

Thanks,
Ian.
