Bug Description
When two package stanzas in debian/control are divided by a whitespace-line rather than an empty line
i.e. "\n \n" instead of "\n\n"
wrap-and-sort fails to parse the control file and instead swallows one of the packages.
It should:
a) not fail to parse that to begin with, since dpkg itself accepts this just fine
b) not remove duplicated fields in a stanza but error out refusing to do the sort at all
b-1) alternatively the tool should be renamed to wrap-and-
