Description : convert Debian control data to XML
This package contains the dctrl2xml tool that converts Debian control
data into an XML representation. It can be used to convert data which
is normally found in debian/control, .changes, .dsc, Packages,
Sources, and similar files to XML.
.
For most fields dctrl2xml just uses the field name as element name
and the field data as element content. For other fields like package
interrelationship fields (Depends, Build-Depends, etc.) or the Files
field in .changes or Sources files dctrl2xml additionally parses their
field data to represent it in a more fine structured form.
