Dpkg::Changelog::Entry - represents a changelog entry
DESCRIPTION

purpose: a header line, changes lines, a trailer line. Blank lines can be between those
kind of lines.
METHODS
$entry = Dpkg::Changelog::Entry->new()
Creates a new object. It doesn't represent a real changelog entry until one has been
successfully parsed or built from scratch.
$str = $entry->output()
"$entry"

$entry->output($fh)

$entry->get_part($part)
Return either a string (for a single line) or an array ref (for multiple lines)
corresponding to the requested part. $part can be "header, "changes", "trailer",
"blank_after_header", "blank_after_changes", "blank_after_trailer".
$entry->set_part($part, $value)
Set the value of the corresponding part. $value can be a string or an array ref.
$entry->extend_part($part, $value)
Concatenate $value at the end of the part. If the part is already a multi-line value,
$value is added as a new line otherwise it's concatenated at the end of the current
line.
$is_empty = $entry->is_empty()
Returns 1 if the changelog entry doesn't contain anything at all. Returns 0 as soon
