Thanks for your work, here are a few things I stumbled on. (Version: 1.229-1)
Worst problem: -save *removes* all Comment fields except for one
in the header section.
Also, -save converted in the header "Disclaimer:\n Foo" into "Disclaimer: Foo".
If I'm reading DEP-5 right, that's not correct, the Disclaimer is not
supposed to have a synopsis. That is also done for a Comment field
in the header section.
Also, note that "Comment: foo" is not flagged as a problem (despite
being apparently illegal -- DEP-5 puzzlingly does not allow a comment
to have a synopsis).
With -save, two trailing license blocks with identical content got
reordered, which was surprising. (I dislike that DEP-5 seems to require
I duplicate content here; I considered making the second block say "See above",
but it seems likely it could be presented out of order by some future tool.)

The following seemed to be caused by a Comment field at the end of a section.
I had to move it to above the License field.
Missing 'Files:' specification at top of section number 4. Adding 'Files: *'
spec
Configuration item 'Files:* License short_name' has a wrong value:
license other is not declared in main Licence section. Expected GPL-2

zsh: exit 25 config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none -save
Unfortunatly I didn't preserve the input that caused this crash:
joey@gnu:~/src/moreutils>config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none
You should install Config::Model::TkUI or Config::Model::CursesUI for a more
friendly user interface
Can't call method "fetch_element" on an undefined value at
