Scanning debian/control and outputting values found in each sections, with
proper fallbacks to the first section (the source section) for binary
packages that do not have Section/Priority fields. First line is always
the source entry.

If the source section does not have Section/Priority fields, then the
value "unknown" is used.

The udeb prefix is added if Package-Type: udeb is set.
