Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-debian

If you construct a Changelog and pass it the content to parse, it always supresses the ChangelogParseError, even when you have strict=True set.

I'm guessing this is the actual cause of bug #516798 (the except was getting raised, but it was always supressed by the constructor.)

I suppose someone did this on purpose, but it doesn't make sense to me.
