Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-debian

The interface for Changelog.__init__ and Changelog.parse_changelog look
like you could pass in a 'file' object or any iterable of lines. (like a
list of lines).

However if you look closer, in the

if isinstance(file, basestring):
section it does

file = file.split('\n')

Which removes all '\n' characters, and the following for loop assumes
that is true (so it adds them back in).

It should probably instead do something like:

file = file.splitlines(True)

and then leave the individual lines alone.

This would allow you to pass in a real file() object, or anything that
can be iterated to get lines out.
