NAME

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

DESCRIPTION

       This object represents a Debian changelog entry. It implements the generic interface
       Dpkg::Changelog::Entry. Only functions specific to this implementation are described
       below.

FUNCTIONS

       my @items = $entry->get_change_items()
           Return a list of change items. Each item contains at least one line.  A change line
           starting with an asterisk denotes the start of a new item.  Any change line like "[
           Raphaël Hertzog ]" is treated like an item of its own even if it starts a set of items
           attributed to this person (the following line necessarily starts a new item).

       my @errors = $entry->check_header()
       my @errors = $entry->check_trailer()
           Return a list of errors. Each item in the list is an error message describing the
           problem. If the empty list is returned, no errors have been found.

       $entry->normalize()
           Normalize the content. Strip whitespaces at end of lines, use a single empty line to
           separate each part.

UTILITY FUNCTIONS

       my $bool = match_header($line)
           Checks if the line matches a valid changelog header line.

       my $bool = match_trailer($line)
           Checks if the line matches a valid changelog trailing line.

       my @closed_bugs = find_closes($changes)
           Takes one string as argument and finds "Closes: #123456, #654321" statements as
           supported by the Debian Archive software in it. Returns all closed bug numbers in an
           array.
