Bug#639516: [lib/Util.pm] control file parsers silently ignores some invalid lines

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.2
Severity: minor

The control file parser silently ignores lines that don't start with 
whitespace and don't contain a colon either. The attached patch should 
fix this bug.
