Bug#642833: Hmm, config-edit can be improved

I guess that both tries to interpret correctly the DEP-5 specification...

Anyway, config-edit DEP-5 parser is tripped off by the X-Note comment placed 
before the License keyword in the stand-alone license paragraph.

DEP-5 mentions that "Extra fields can be added to any paragraph.", but does 
not specify whether these extra fields can be appended or prepended to 
paragraphs. :-(

Anyway, I can make the parser more tolerant. This will be fixed in next 
Config::Model release.

This does not answer the question whether lintian should call config-edit or 
not. I'll let lintian maintainer decide. 

I'm ready to answer any question they may have.

All the best

Dominique
