Parse last line in deb file correctly by adding a newline
While merging apt-pkg and apt-inst libraries the codepath of handling deb files in apt-pkg was adapted to use the 'old' code from apt-inst instead of fork&exec of dpkg-deb -I. The information we get this way forms the main part of the package stanza, but we add a few semi-optional fields to the stanza to make it look and work more like a stanza we got from a repository. Just be careful with the area where these two parts touch as if, hypothetically, we would stip all newlines around the parts, but forget to add a newline between them later, the two lines around the merge would stick a bit too close together forming one which could result in fun parsing errors if this merged line was previously e.g. a well-formed Depends line and has now extra fluff attached. This codepath has a history with too many newlines (#802553) though, so how likely is it really that it will some day lack one you may ask. References: 6089a4b17c61ef30b2efc00e270b0907f51f352a
