Are you sure about that?
If you mean the debDebFile::MemControlExtract methods, these are still here -
and are the only once which are referenced by python-apt.
I am not in to python, but it seems like it provides a debExtractControl
implemented with the MemControlExtract methods.
The removed Merge and ExtractControl aren't referenced in python-apt
and given the implementation i doubt anybody could have used that
(at least in default configuration) for anything (expect of a new dpkg -i)
as it unpacks directly to /var/lib/dpkg/info …
