Bug#671784: python-apt: debExtractControl gone

[Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar@debian.org>]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.8.4
Severity: normal

debExtractControl is gone from apt_inst.  The example still mention
deb_extract_control, but that is not there either:

-----
% python /usr/share/doc/python-apt/examples/dpkg-info.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/python-apt/examples/dpkg-info.py", line 5, in <module>
    from apt_inst import deb_extract_control
ImportError: cannot import name deb_extract_control
-----

Is this method gone and something else should be used instead? Or should
deb_extract_control still be there?  In the latter case, please consider making
debExtractControl an alias for it so dak can work in both stable and wheezy.

Regards,
Ansgar
