Use github.com/dpeckett/deb822 for deb822 parsing
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer request to replace several custom Debian 822 parsers with github.com/dpeckett/deb822 for multiline-field support remains unimplemented and unlabelled; only an automated Jira-sync comment exists.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The current tree still has custom parsing in inspectors/deb/deb.go and inspectors/apt/packages.go, while go.mod has no github.com/dpeckett/deb822 dependency, so the request is unresolved. The issue is unlabelled and its sole comment is an automated Jira-sync message; replacing behavior-sensitive parsers across several paths needs investigation despite the clear dependency goal.
