Bug#400338: lintian: unpack/list-udebpkg does not handle Packages.gz

[Bill Allombert]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.26
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello Debian Lintian Maintainers,

unpack/list-udebpkg does not handle compressed udeb Packages file.
This is a probelm because the archive do not carry uncmpressed
Packages file anymore.

The other unpack/list-*pkg handle Packages.gz fine.

Please find a patch. Sorry I forgot to send it sooner.

Cheers,
