NAME
    Parse::DebControl::Patch - Easy OO parsing of debian patch file metadata
    (DEP3) data

SYNOPSIS
        use Parse::DebControl::Patch

        $parser = new Parse::DebControl::Patch;

        $data = $parser->parse_mem($control_data, $options);
        $data = $parser->parse_file('./debian/control', $options);
        $data = $parser->parse_web($url, $options);

DESCRIPTION
        The patch-file metadata specification (DEP3) diverts from the normal debian/control
        rules primarly of the "free-form" field specification. To handle this we most create
        an parser specifically for this format and hardcode these rules direclty into the code.

        As we will always only have one block of data, we will return the hashref directly
        instead of enclosing it into an array.

        The field B<Forwarded> is magic and will always exists in the out data, even if not specified
        in the indata. It can only have three values, I<yes>, I<no>, and I<not-needed>. If not specified
        it will have the value I<yes>.
