Can this file not be constructed from the Packages file, copies of
which go back to buzz. It's just
packagename<TAB>priority<TAB>section[<TAB>maintainer]
and those fields are all in the Packages file, though I would
expect a person doing that would write their own value for
maintainer rather than the outdated copy in the file.

Cheers,
David.
