        The Python package `deb-pkg-tools` is a collection of functions to work with
        Debian packages and repositories. Some of those functions have a command line
        interface (see below) because they're very convenient to use in shell scripts,
        while other functions are meant to be called directly from Python code. It's
        currently tested on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.4.
        
        Status
        ------
        
        On the one hand the `deb-pkg-tools` package is based on my experiences with
        Debian packages and repositories over the past couple of years, on the other
        hand `deb-pkg-tools` itself is quite young. Then again most functionality is
        covered by automated tests; at the time of writing coverage is around 90% (some
        of the error handling is quite tricky to test if we also want to test the
        non-error case, which is of course the main focus :-)
        
        Installation and usage
        ----------------------
        
        You can install the `deb-pkg-tools` package using the following command::
        
            $ pip install deb-pkg-tools
        
        After installation you'll have the ``deb-pkg-tools`` program available::
        
            $ deb-pkg-tools --help
            Usage: deb-pkg-tools [OPTIONS]
        
            Supported options:
        
              -i, --inspect=FILE          inspect the metadata in a *.deb archive
              -b, --build=DIR             build a Debian package with `dpkg-deb --build'
              -u, --update-repo=DIR       create/update a trivial package repository
              -a, --activate-repo=DIR     enable `apt-get' to install packages from a
                                          trivial repository (requires root/sudo privilege)
              -d, --deactivate-repo=DIR   cleans up after --activate-repo
                                          (requires root/sudo privilege)
              -w, --with-repo=DIR CMD...  create/update a trivial package repository,
                                          activate the repository, run the positional
                                          arguments as an external command (usually `apt-get
                                          install') and finally deactivate the repository
              -v, --verbose               make more noise
              -h, --help                  show this message and exit
        
        One thing to note is that the operation of ``deb-pkg-tools --update-repo`` can
        be influenced by a configuration file. For details about this, please refer to
        the documentation on `deb_pkg_tools.repo.select_gpg_key()`_.
        
        If you're interested in using `deb-pkg-tools` as a Python module, please refer
        to the function reference on `Read the Docs`_.
        
        Dependencies
        ------------
        
        The `deb-pkg-tools` package depends on the python-debian_ package for control
        file parsing (it will be automatically installed as a dependency). The
        following external programs are also required (depending on which functionality
        you need of course):
        
        =====================  =============
        Program                Package
        =====================  =============
        ``apt-ftparchive``     ``apt-utils``
        ``apt-get``            ``apt``
        ``cp``                 ``coreutils``
        ``dpkg-deb``           ``dpkg``
        ``dpkg-scanpackages``  ``dpkg-dev``
        ``du``                 ``coreutils``
        ``fakeroot``           ``fakeroot``
        ``gpg``                ``gnupg``
        ``gzip``               ``gzip``
        ``lintian``            ``lintian``
        =====================  =============
        
        The majority of these programs/packages will already be installed on most
        Debian based systems so you should only need the following to get started::
        
            $ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev fakeroot lintian
