dctrl2xml – Debian control data to XML converter – Manual Page

       dctrl2xml  is a tool that converts Debian control data into an XML representation. It can be used to con‐
       vert data which is normally found in debian/control, .changes, .dsc, Packages, Sources, and similar files
       to XML.

       For most fields dctrl2xml just uses the field name as element name and the field data as element content.
       For other fields, such as package interrelationship fields (Depends, Build-Depends, etc.)  or  the  Files
       field  in  .changes or Sources files, dctrl2xml additionally parses their field data to represent it in a
       more fine-structured form.
